Chapter 111: A Turning Point in His Career
On the way back, Yang Cheng was still unsatisfied, sitting in the carriage and humming a little song.
provoked Murong Tie to keep looking back, he didn't see the young master so happy, he was stupid and happy there alone.
Yang Cheng was really happy today, and he contributed to two major events at once.
Not to mention the Artist Chamber of Commerce, the future is limitless. The most important thing is that the newspaper industry will be successful, and he knows very well how powerful and beneficial newspapers will be in an era of scarcity of information. If the previous business was his capital, the newspaper industry in the future will be his turning point, and he will have a sharp weapon to influence people's hearts. To put it mildly, his other businesses in the future will not be so troublesome, and he only needs newspapers to open up publicity and publicity, and it will be easy to drive.
He even thought about the price of the newspaper and set it very low, so that more people could afford it, and the amount was high. One is half a silver coin. Moreover, you have to burn money first and provide half a month for free. As long as the content is engaging enough, it will make people develop the habit of reading the newspaper every day. As long as fifteen silver coins a month, at least a quarter of the people in Wuzhou City can afford to buy them. Combined, it cost one point and eight spirit coins in a year. If it is properly operated, it can be purchased by nearly 10 million people, and a newspaper can earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
If it is expanded to the surrounding city-states, the eighteen cities of the eastern capital, and even the entire Liuyun country, the benefits are immeasurable.
And he can have more than one newspaper, such as the one that writes about the daily street news, called "Wuzhou Daily". For another example, commenting on the characters of Xiuzhen and anecdotes in the rivers and lakes is called "Xiuzhen Tabloid Newspaper". Even, hire some scholars who are good at writing stories, compile stories and novels, and serialize them every day, which makes people want to stop, and buy them every day, called "Wuzhou Story". In short, in addition to political affairs, all aspects can be listed as a type of newspaper to attract all kinds of people.
When the artist chamber of commerce is established, it and the newspaper industry can also complement each other and promote each other. For example, the "Wuzhou Star" newspaper, even if it is a newcomer, she can continue to introduce her life story and praise her talent and appearance, so that people can quickly understand her, and it has become a shortcut for newcomers to become famous. After they become famous, more people will love them, and if they pay attention to them, more people will pay attention to the "Wuzhou Star" newspaper, won't they make money at both ends?
In addition to the daily newspaper, it can also be made into a monthly magazine, such as "Xiuzhen Characters", which organizes and prints the news of the newspapers and periodicals. Another example is "Liuyun Monthly", which organizes and prints the literature and stories created by literati. The monthly magazine, which is not easily bound by time constraints, can not only be sold in Wuzhou City, but also sent to other city-states. If the price is a little higher, it can also be exported to all over the world.
But these are superficial gains.
When most of the people in Wuzhou City read the newspaper, the news spread quickly. If you want to find people and things, you will definitely want to ask the newspaper to help. The Chamber of Commerce wants to buy something in large quantities, and it takes time and effort to run around, publish a message in the newspaper, and send it from all over for you to choose.
The merchant wants to recruit the right person, post a job posting, and wait for someone to come for an interview. If a warrior wants to take on a mission, he doesn't have to squat in the mercenary alliance every day to run and read the newspaper.
All walks of life, although not involved, but with a lot of attention, it has become a platform for advertising, which is the benefit of advertising. From finding people and things, to introducing the products of merchants. According to its value, it is possible to collect several spirit coins, or even tens of thousands of spirit coins, with a single message.
For example, a tea merchant wants to tell more people about his newly developed tea. Just use a newspaper to publish a conspicuous advertisement, introducing the taste and advantages of his tea, it will quickly become famous, bring profits, save time, these values are not rejected by the business. It is not too much to charge him thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit coins for such an advertisement.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng was extremely excited. As long as this stroke is done, he will basically be able to sit back and relax. And it's not easy to replicate, not to mention that it's hard for outsiders to understand the principles of these operations. At the same time, he also had to solve the two processes of papermaking and movable type printing. As long as he is firmly in control, this industry can only be monopolized by him.
He also has the power of a mouthpiece, and if someone has bad intentions against him, he can ruin him in an instant. If you dig up or make up some ugly things, you will definitely make it a character that everyone shouts about. Of course, this kind of method can not be used, once the energy of this newspaper is discovered by someone with a heart, it will also bring some disadvantages.
From other aspects, once newspapers, periodicals and books spread in Liuyun Country, the use of paper will be discovered by more people, and orders from paper mills will also flock from all directions, and the business of paper mills will also be driven. And the making of liquor and furniture will also become popular faster with the intervention of newspapers and periodicals.
In the east courtyard of his Yang Mansion, there is a building surrounded by green plants, and the big trees around it not only did not cut down, but transplanted many trees. The high and low green plants surround the interior into an island. There is only one passage left, and the entrance is guarded by the Yang family's martial artists, with seven bends and eight turns, and only when you enter the interior do you feel that there is a cave.
This is the movable type printing factory in Yangcheng, which is not located in the same place as the paper mill, although it will add a little transportation trouble. But for Yang Cheng, it will not leak secrets at the same time, which can be regarded as double insurance.
At least for the time being, he has not thought about making it public, and he needs to use these technologies to ensure the smooth implementation of the newspaper industry. There are also guards patrolling the perimeter of the forest, and there are also lineage warriors guarding the forest. The entire printing factory was in charge of Lao Yang Tou and Xiao Wu, and the selected workers were also loyal people to ensure that they could keep their mouths shut.
It was late at night, and the printing house in the depths of the grove was still brightly lit. Xiao Wu is leading a few workers to repeatedly try typesetting and printing day and night. His eyes were red and swollen, and he looked at them again and again, and discussed them with everyone repeatedly.
Yang Cheng only has a general understanding, and he is not clear about the process, so he can only give Xiao Wu a general direction. Ever since he figured out the problem of papermaking alone under the guidance of the young master, he has great confidence in himself. He lost the apprehension of taking on the task at the beginning, finally believed that he had unlimited potential, and became extremely fond of thinking and solving problems.
Faced with technical problems again and again, Xiao Wu was no longer afraid, but extremely excited. Even though he hadn't slept in two days, he still seemed energetic.
Several backbone workers around him have also been accompanying him in his continuous attempts, and the 500 workers of the printing factory are loyal and reliable people carefully selected by Lao Yang Tou from the other three factories. Their monthly income is relatively much higher, and the cultivation of their children is also properly arranged by the Yang family. As long as the performance is slightly better, there will also be housing allocated to them in the villa area. Therefore, these people never mention what they are doing to the outside world, and they are dedicated to keeping a low profile.
Everyone spontaneously took advantage of the rest time to strive to successfully complete the things assigned by the young master as soon as possible, so that the printing house could realize its value.
