Xu Lian and True Phoenix of the Red Chamber

The first issue of the newspaper prepared by Jia Lian and Wei Ruolan will soon be almost ready, the content is divided between the two, and the script is recommended by Xue Pan, "If the second elder brother wants to do Pang's business, I can't help you." I'm busy, but I can help with such a small matter."

The person he introduced was indeed good. At least Jia Lian looked at the storybook and it was very attractive. This person was originally captured by Xue Pan. He likes to listen to operas, but he is not as good as Feng Ziying and the others. Of course, there are many difficulties if he wants to join this line of work, so he can only be opportunistic and choose a job that can provide scripts. He is rich and powerful, so naturally he doesn't need Jia Lian to spend money.

But Jia Lian's money must be spent, "We are brothers, of course I understand, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly, I can't take advantage of you."

Xue Pan didn't expect him to say that, and frowned slightly, "Since my cousin said so, then I will act as a middleman, just introduce you to each other, and I won't intervene in other things."

Jia Lian was very satisfied. The story book had already been published, which was meaningless. What he hoped most was that someone would be willing to write a novel and serialize it in his newspaper. Although this is not satisfactory now, but if the story is well written, at least it can be read. To earn the love of the three aunts, six wives, students and scholars, he ordered such a character first.

The newspaper at the beginning didn’t use many pages, but after typesetting, he really found some space, so he took advantage of it and advertised a dim sum shop of Wang Xifeng on it, “Look at it like this Going up, the content is quite rich.”

Wei Ruolan didn't think it was a problem for Jia Lian to put advertisements on it. He felt strange that why Jia Lian chose such a shop to advertise, "Our newspapers are all for scholars. Even if they want to put them, they should Put pens, ink, paper and inkstones and so on."

Jia Lian has his own reasons, "Scholars, since you have read books for so many years and have your own preferences, you won't abandon the places you are familiar with and come to our house just because we put up an advertisement. The shop is different, food is the most important thing for the people, if they see it, even if they don't eat it themselves, they have to consider their family members, right?"

"What's more, our family only has such a tacky shop." This is also the truth, the whole family is not a scholar, so they don't even think about being a scholar's business!

After hearing what he said, Wei Ruolan couldn't help sighing, their family seems to be the same, as expected they are divided into groups!This time, he stopped talking.

"We distributed the first issue for free, but what about the future? Have you thought about what price you want to set?" Wei Ruolan suddenly thought that she hadn't even considered the price, and felt a failure.

Jia Lian said cheerfully, "How about two pennies?"

After Wei Ruolan heard it, she immediately suspected that she had heard it wrong, but seeing Jia Lian's expression, she was really calm, and he couldn't help but asked again, "What you just said was two pennies?"

Jia Lian nodded, "No, what do you think?"

"Are you sincere?" Wei Ruolan couldn't help but wonder, the price is really too low. Although the books are not so expensive now, they are the things of scholars after all, and they are somewhat noble.

Two pennies would be fine if it was in the early days of the country. At that time, money was valuable and had high purchasing power. One penny could buy a steamed bun, but now in a peaceful and prosperous world, one penny can’t even buy a steamed bun. Since Jia Lian wants to use it It's no wonder Wei Ruolan finds it unbelievable to sell a newspaper for two cents, which is the price of a steamed bun.

But Jia Lian was still very calm, looking confident, Wei Ruolan couldn't help but feel that, in his heart, the price was determined after careful deliberation, "These two pennies, But even the cost of the newspaper is not enough!" It is not enough to produce a newspaper, not to mention, they have spent a lot of time thinking about the content in it, and found someone to write the script!

Jia Lian nodded slightly, expressing that he knew very well in his heart that the money was not enough to produce a newspaper, and they were considered large-scale machine production, and now they printed less, and the cost of one copy was probably ten cents. The pen fee is absolutely huge and doubled by hundreds of times.

"You're right," Jia Lian said with a smile, "we didn't rely on selling newspapers to make money."

"Are you going to lose money?" Wei Ruolan had an intuition that Jia Lian was crazy, but Jia Lian usually behaved so normally, she didn't feel crazy at all, what happened now?

Jia Lian looked at Wei Ruolan like a lunatic, "How is it possible, I'm not a good person, and I still lost money. Since I did it, I dragged you to do it together. Of course, I want to make money."

Wei Ruolan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "I can't see, where do you want to make money?" Even if there are more newspapers to be printed and distributed in the future, the cost will not be reduced much, and they still lose money. The more you pay, the more you pay.

Jia Lian lightly pointed to his ad, "Didn't you see this just now, why do you think I'm losing money?"

Wei Ruolan looked at the advertisement and thought for a while, then asked, "Do you think newspapers can make your shop's business better, so even if you lose money, you can still make money in the shop?"

Jia Lian was a little disappointed at this moment, "Of course the shop can make money, but I don't plan to rely on it alone to make money, how many copies can our newspaper sell, even if everyone goes to our shop How much more money can I make by buying things?"

"Then what on earth are you thinking?" Wei Ruolan felt a headache, Jia Lian's babbling appearance made him feel very irritated, "you should just say it directly, I don't understand your twists and turns Wandering thoughts."

Jia Lian didn't continue to play tricks, but he still felt very strange in his heart, how could Wei Ruolan not see what Wang Xifeng could see?He didn't think that his daughter-in-law's vision would be that powerful, but she had told the truth.

"I'm thinking about selling advertising fees." Jia Lian said softly, "Our newspapers can't do good things for free by advertising their places. I don't earn money from selling newspapers, I earn money from those merchants."

"Hehe," Wei Ruolan immediately understood, "Are you really robbing the rich and helping the poor?"

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not too much. It's not too many scholars who are really poor."

Wei Ruolan laughed, "Anyway, your idea is really good, but I don't know if those businessmen will be fooled."

"As long as they have foresight, they will definitely give us money." Jia Lian said calmly, this is not a new era with TV networks, and no one sees advertisements in newspapers at all. If they advertise now, they are the only ones. Even from this unique point of view, those people can also understand the benefits.

The two of them reached an agreement, and the first newspaper was produced naturally. Jia Lian didn't put it in the shop to sell, but chose a few beggars on the street, dressed them up a bit, and agreed, " I need someone to help me with things now, so I will give you money, but you also have to help me finish the work." The children he chose were all very energetic, and after hearing what he said, he nodded immediately to show that he understood .

She also clearly remembered Jia Lian's selling slogan, Wei Ruolan couldn't help but wonder how Jia Lian came up with such an idea.

Jia Lian looked at Wei Ruolan's expectant eyes, and felt ashamed in his heart. Hiring child labor was really a stressful thing. He felt that he had become an evil capitalist. Wei Ruolan still admired his ability to save money. money!

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, "Daqing Daily" has the most fashionable news, sell newspapers and sell newspapers!" At the busiest moment, the crisp but penetrating child's voice suddenly caught the attention of many people. .

"What is this?" The newspaper is such a novelty that people can't help but ask.

""Daqing Daily", the most fashionable news, the best story, today's first issue, free of charge." The newsboys are really competent, their mouths seem to have drunk honey, and they praise the newspaper in their hands. a flower.

There are many literate people in the capital, what's more, this newspaper is still delivered, so naturally everyone wants to take a look at it. After reading it, the things inside are really a bit fresh.The number of newspapers is limited, and they will be distributed soon. Many people who didn't get them even took the initiative to ask the people around them who got the newspapers, "What's in it, give me a look."

As for the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, these rich and powerful families, Jia Lian naturally would not let the newspaper boy sell them newspapers, he directly prepared them and sent them to the mansion, the most important thing was the emperor's copy.

The content is still extremely attractive, and the emperor is willing to take a look at it, "Is this what you tossed out? Can you make money with this thing?" As an emperor who is short of money, he always involuntarily falls into it many times. In the eyes of money.

After hearing this, Jia Lian laughed and said, "I'm thinking about it, I'm afraid I can't make any money these days, but in the future, maybe I can still make a lot of money."

The emperor shook his head, "This thing of yours is only two pennies, I'm afraid it's too cheap." Now he felt that he was very wise, and he didn't follow Jia Lian and Hu, so he just saw what Jia Lian could come up with. Flowers come.

Jia Lian continued to flatter the emperor cheerfully, "What the Holy Majesty said is true, but I think about it, I still want to make small profits but sell more."

Small profits but quick sales do make money, but like Jia Lian, they are completely at a loss, and they lose as much as they sell, and the more they sell, the more they lose. The emperor quickly shook his head and stopped commenting.

Jia Lian also smiled, acting as if she didn't notice anything. In the future, those who laugh at her now will probably envy her to death.
