In the next two days, Wei Ming had nothing to compare, not only him, but the entire Weifu people did not spend the New Year properly, but were preparing for the first purchase of the New Year.
There was a roar of firecrackers outside, and the inside of the Weifu was full of enthusiasm. The ink on the newspaper that had just been printed hadn't dried up yet, and there were already piles of newspapers next to it in the several newspaper-printing rooms specially organized by Weifu.
"It's dawn?" Wei Ming wiped the sweat from his head. Yesterday, I didn't know how many people stayed up all night to watch their lives. It didn't matter. He only knew that dozens of people in the Weifu were not asleep. Wei Ming also persisted all night. He wants to witness this process with his own eyes, and after all, this is the first shot, and it is about to start, but there must be no trouble.
"Well, a new day has begun again. Whether our newspaper will become popular depends on today's." Qin Yuxin said a little excited and a little nervous. Newspaper is a product launched after Wei Ming launched cement. And this product has taken the low-end route from the beginning. The cost of each newspaper is about two copper coins, and the price is three copper coins. Coupled with marketing investment, basically can't make much money. She originally thought the same way, and she told Wei Ming the same way. However, the body that was despised by Wei Ming was exhausted. Let alone the extent of the benefits in something like newspapers, it's just that it can control the country's mouthpiece and guide public opinion. That effect is much more important than money. Wei Ming believes that as long as the people can really accept the newspaper, then cults such as the White Lotus Sect will be completely self-defeating. People will gradually broaden their horizons and focus on the world. In fact, the entire Ming Dynasty is closed to the country and the society is not concerned about the world, and only cares about their own two acres of land has a great relationship. The people can basically figure out what the ruler of this country is like. The emperor can influence the people, and the people can influence the emperor even more.
"Is the troupe you prepared ready?" Wei Ming said.
"I have made Xiao Dongzi ready a long time ago. There are a total of four big troupes and a dozen small troupes, which will start New Year's performances in major teahouses and other places in Beijing. As long as the show opens, it will definitely be full. Going to promote our newspaper there will definitely be no problem." Qin Yuxin said.
"By the way, not only teahouses, restaurants, and other places we can't let go." Wei Ming said with a smile.
"En? Is there anything else we haven't thought of?" Qin Yuxin asked strangely. She feels that this is already very comprehensive!
"Of course there are. Don't forget the brothel! It is also a densely populated place, even more popular than places like restaurants and teahouses." Wei Ming's eyes looked bright at this time. When Qin Yuxin heard Wei Ming talking about Qinglong, she quelled, but think about it, this place does have a big market. He nodded and agreed, ready to make arrangements.
"Okay, let's see if our stick can be fired today!" Wei Ming stretched his arms as if he was about to embrace the entire sky. Qin Yuxin looked a little silly from the sidelines. She felt that Wei Ming at this time was the most attractive.
"It sells newspapers, it sells newspapers! The newspaper just came out today! The ink hasn't dried yet! Whether you are a minister or a businessman, a groom or a peasant, there are things you want to know about here. Road information, spring farming, everything on top. Even if you don’t care about anything, you can buy it. Why? There are also jokes, poems, anecdotes, and rumors. Only you can’t think of it, there is nothing without it! And today This is the first edition. Wei Hou wrote the title in the newspaper.
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!" What are you waiting for? Three copper plates, as long as three copper plates! "
Because today’s New Year’s Day, no shops opened in the morning. In the afternoon, they all appeared. Places like Beijing. Never worry about no customers. Of course, the premise is that your things must be really attractive. The afternoon teahouse was already full of all kinds of old and young men. The troupe hadn't started singing yet, and a newsboy came here to whisper. Of course, there is no shortage of such things as childcare when doing propaganda. History has proven that people have a herd mentality, commonly known as sheep nature. Seeing someone pay for a newspaper and read it with gusto, other people don't care about these three copper plates. When more and more people have newspapers in their hands, the speed of newspaper sales has not decreased but increased. Newsboys are clever-sounding talents specially found by the Weifu. Grandma, grandma, grandpa and aunt’s call, make every customer feel happy, even if there is really nothing in the newspaper, the three copper plates are spent. Worth it.
The first batch of tens of thousands of printed newspapers was dumped in less than an hour, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"What's this. Come, Lao Zhu, come over and write a congratulatory message and print it out immediately. I promise you can sell as much as you print before it gets dark!" Wei Ming said, seeing the somewhat dumbfounded Zhu Youxiao.
"Good, good." Zhu Youxiao felt that his tongue was a little overwhelmed. This is not to say how much money was made today. Ten thousand newspapers are only ten taels of silver. (Due to market demand, a new copper coin with a smaller face value was introduced, ten small copper coins are equivalent to one large copper coin), but was shocked by the speed and sales volume of this sales. This is the first day! And it's just a capital city. If it is promoted in cities and even villages across the country, how much can it sell on that day? How much can I earn? What about one year? How can Wei Ming get such a big benefit by easily putting together a thing? Ordinarily, there was such a thing as Dibao before, so why didn't anyone see the benefits? How much money can be made just by reselling the mansion newspaper! After all, that kind of stuff has a small audience. And this kind of newspaper founded by Wei Ming is really as people say, no matter what you do, you can always find what you like from here.
"Wait, what am I writing? I don't have that level!" Zhu Youxiao remembered for a moment, his level of such a level would be embarrassing in front of the people of the whole country? This is a shame!
"What level do you want! If you have a level of writing, can the people understand it? Just say congratulations to the people of all ethnic groups in the country for a Happy New Year. Looking forward to next year, we will defeat the Dutch and bring Taiwan into the embrace of the motherland, and the North will strike Restless Mongols and Houjin people. In the end, we are invincible to speak big words! Under your wise leadership, people's lives will only get better and better! Let the Bailianjiao go to death!" Wei Ming waved Fist bewitched. Zhu Youxiao was excited. Wei Ming's work is to paint a beautiful blueprint for him! As long as these goals are achieved, next year will be a bumper year. But when I look back, what should I do if I can't reach it? Isn't this slap your own face? He hesitated again, and said, "Brother Wei..."
"What are you afraid of, even if you fail to reach it, what can you do? Can the people still eat you? At most, we should seriously criticize and self-criticize, sum up our experience, and strive to do better in the coming year. Is it done? In the minds of the people, the emperor is high above and far away. If they could see what you wrote by hand, how would it feel? This is a feat that unites the hearts of the whole world! Write it quickly Right! I have already decided that there is no charge for this thing, and it will be distributed to all parts of the country for free, so that every Ming citizen will know that their emperor cares about them!" Wei Ming became more excited as he talked, Zhu You school listened He breathed hard, slammed his right fist on his left palm, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'm fighting it!"
When Wei Ming saw the characters written by Zhu Youxiao, he regretted it. Can this thing be released? But now he dare not tell Zhu Youxiao, your writing is too ugly, don't write, I will find someone to do it for you! If Wei Ming dared to say that, he had no doubt that Zhu You would be ashamed and smashed him. Then I thought, forget it, anyway, what the people want is the authenticity of the emperor, but not those words that really want to read him. The words of the emperor are more valuable than those of some calligraphers!
