The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 150 Mingzhi
Chapter 25

Gotham, a rare sunny day.

Diana held the weekly comic newspaper, which was just as tall as one person, and placed it in front of the newspaper office.

Although this weight is nothing to Diana, the pile of newspapers stacked high still has a certain impact on the picture.

It has been several days since the Greve Mafia made a big fuss.

After that, Peter and Diana requisitioned Greve's printing house, plus a batch of free manpower and material resources.

For convenience, Peter also rubbed his hands to upgrade the factory's equipment, all of which are products of technology beyond the current era.

The workers in the factory are not educated and have no idea about these new devices, they just feel that they are more useful and convenient.

The factory still belongs to the Greve family in name, Peter just left after playing for a while, and it is useless to want these industries.

As a result, it will take at least a certain amount of time for outsiders to discover the clues.

As for what happened next, what did it matter to Peter?
Because it is the first issue, the number of newspapers printed is not very large, and there is no need for too many.
At present, newspapers as thick as one person are enough.

After that, Diana quickly recruited a group of children ranging from eight to thirteen or fourteen years old.

This is another task that Peter gave her that day.

After the newspaper offices, newspaper masters, and printing houses have been settled, all that remains is the sales channels.

In addition to the fixed street vendors, the sales channels of newspapers in the current era are these newsboys.

On the same day, when Diana heard about Peter's mission, she agreed without any hesitation.

Newsboys in this era are often poor children who need to go out to work at a young age to subsidize their families.

Diana quickly visited the nearby neighborhoods, spread out the job demands, and soon recruited a group of children of the right age.

Diana asked the newsboys to line up to receive them, and distributed newspapers of different sizes according to age.

"Children, I will leave it to you. Every time you sell a copy, you will get an extra share."

Unlike those unscrupulous merchants who squeezed these children's cheap labor, the amount Diana gave was several times that of other newspapers.

In Gotham, where a paperboy might make a measly 50 cents a week, Diana couldn't possibly do that sort of thing.

This made the children very excited, and they repeatedly promised: "We will definitely sell out the newspaper, Sister Diana."

Seeing their vigorous and hopeful faces, Diana's heart almost melted, and she encouraged:

"Okay, you guys have to work hard! Sell our Marvel Weekly!"

Hmm... That's right, Peter directly named the new newspaper "Marvel Weekly", and even the signboard of the newspaper was replaced with the word Marvel.

Any similarity is purely intentional.

And since the newsboys want to sell newspapers, it is naturally impossible for them to be ignorant of the content of the newspaper, so they opened it immediately and read it.

With just one glance, they were attracted by the cool lenses and painting styles in the newspaper that far surpassed the current era and were accumulated and innovated by painters in the past century.

How could children these days have seen this? The clumsy comic strips in newspapers are a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Even the rare typesetting with comics as the main body and text news as the supplement was not pursued.

The reactions of these children are also reflected in the adults to a certain extent.

At first, they despised the newspaper for its lack of business. There was not much news, all of them were drawings, and they all regretted that they had spent the wrong money.

But then it was really fragrant, all kinds of shocking, amazing, and can't wait.

The story of "Iron Man" made them feel fresh and new. Whether it was the screen shots, the rhythm of the story, or the style of painting, it deeply shocked the ignorant bumpkins of this era.

"Tony Stark? A super rich man in the 21st century, this life is really enviable."

"Mark 1 is so handsome! He actually built a set of battle armor with a pile of scrap metal in the cave."

"So comic strips can still be drawn like this? This author is such a genius!"

"Damn it, I want to see the next issue right now, hurry up hurry up!"

Many people were first introduced to the small newspaper called Marvel.

Even without the blessing of any historical trend, the first issue of the Marvel Weekly was undoubtedly a hit, with a positive rating of close to [-]%.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Marvel News office was completely different from the fiery atmosphere outside.

Diana put her knees together, sat upright, and looked at Hei Superman obediently.

I don't know, I thought it was a boudoir lady from somewhere.

This scene is so interesting that even Peter couldn't help but look sideways, and asked with great interest:
"Our Amazon Duel Champion, what's going on here?"

Diana was able to win the battle against Ares by defeating everyone at the beginning.

Diana was not annoyed by Peter's ridicule, but just thanked:
"Thank you for agreeing to let me increase the wages for the children."

As for raising wages, Diana naturally discussed it with Peter. After all, this kind of thing can be said to be harming oneself and benefiting others.

Regarding this matter, Peter just shook his head and said: "You know, for people like us, money is nothing. Moreover, it is you who made this decision."

Although Peter would not deliberately make things difficult and exploit those children, he would only give them a salary similar to that of the outsiders.

Although he saw some things in his eyes, he didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't be an ancestor.

"I know, but I still want to thank you," Diana said:
"After all, you are the one who earns this money."

Peter seemed to have discovered something, and looked at Diana in surprise: "It seems that you have a new idea."

Diana nodded and said:
"During this period of time, I have discovered that my strength alone is limited.

However, with the power of money, it seems that more people can be helped. "

Maybe it's because of the different times, locations, positions, and thinking, even if they are both on the good side, but when Diana and Gwen faced this question, they gave completely different answers.

Gwen chooses to start from the side, as Spider Woman, to lead by example, and to be on the front line to help others.

Probably, this is a kind of cute and stupid energy to keep working hard even knowing that there may be an endless road ahead.

But Diana chose another path after seeing enough sins and bad roots with Peter.

Use the resources of human society itself to help human beings themselves.

In the long run, it is hard to say which of these two props is better, but history has changed.

Diana, who has a normal world line, will probably give up this idea because she is disappointed with human beings time and time again.

Of course, Diana is only at the stage where she has a little direction at this time, and she still needs a long time to think and conclude.

Fortunately, her life is long enough for her to gradually figure out the problem in the long river of time.

outside world.

The newspapers on the first day were sold out successfully, and the situation went very smoothly. The new orders from the printing factory were also proceeding in an orderly manner, and things were on the right track at once.

Although due to the number of reasons, even if the word-of-mouth of the newspaper is very good, it can only be called a niche for the time being.

Of course, this problem will be resolved with the start of the printing plant and the printing of newspapers.

Peter did not continue to update Tony's comics immediately, but followed the rule of weekly update of the weekly newspaper.

For the rest of the time, he was not idle.

In addition to instructing Diana on coffee-making skills and settling a house in Gotham, she will also run around the world and earn points.

In this era when the speed of information dissemination is relatively lagging, even if Betterman goes about fighting everywhere, it is impossible for him to suddenly become a household name in a short period of time.

But this is enough, the spread of fame is maintained at this level, and there are various legends circulating everywhere, and the degree of the story is the best.

Everything seems to be returning to a familiar rhythm.

……

　Let me add a very stupid point. I made a mistake when I checked the information before, and the five major families have become the four major families.
