The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

In addition to the common people, those businessmen are also very curious. With their keen business sense, they feel that this newspaper is very useful to them, so they will not be stingy with this small amount of money.

Soon, the "Apple Newspaper" became popular all over the city, especially some teahouses, which became the active area of ​​the newspaper, and even those storytellers who were originally very popular were ignored by the customers.

"Hahaha~~ This joke is so funny!" A newspaper reader suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Let's hear it."

"Let me tell you... this joke is like this. Lao Wang runs a fried dough stick stand. A beautiful lady came to buy fried dough sticks. Looking at the size of the fried dough sticks, she frowned and said, 'It's too thick, I can't hold it in my mouth.' Lao Wang Hearing this, I hurriedly changed one, the young lady looked at it and said, "It's too long, it's stuck in her throat!"

Everyone reacted immediately, burst into laughter, and some people clapped their hands repeatedly: "Vulgar, too vulgar, but vulgar is funny, I like it."

.

(Sorry for being late,).

Chapter 116 Yan Ge Lao's "Shandong Construction Outline" [2]

Businessmen usually make some nasty jokes, but this kind of jokes are for their liking, and someone immediately shouted: "Is there any more?"

Then I read a few dirty jokes. Of course, besides the dirty jokes, there are other funny jokes, which made people laugh out loud.

"By the way, the front page is an article by Mr. Yan Ge, saying that he wants to build a 'civilized city' and asks the people not to spit or defecate anywhere..."

"Okay, Mr. Yan Ge is so right!"

"Old Yan Ge's words are very close to my heart. I have long seen that some barbaric people are not happy. They defecate everywhere, and the road stinks. I dare not go to many small alleys!"

Many merchants and gentry applauded, which shows that they are very disgusted with the feces and flies everywhere.

The 500 copies printed on the first day were thus digested.

That night, the newspaper was circulated everywhere, and word of mouth gradually spread. This newspaper was different from the previous newspapers. It was closer to the lives of the common people. I don't understand, it's cloudy.

At this time, the newspaper office had already received the news that 09 had arrived, and they all celebrated.

Wang Chi: "Try to print 3000 copies tomorrow!"

Everyone was surprised: "Turn it 6 times? Is it okay?"

Wang Chi nodded: "Since Jinan City has proved that "Apple News" is popular, it will definitely be popular in other places, then follow the original plan with the caravan and let them sell the newspaper in various regions... 3000 That's a conservative estimate."

The next day, 1000 newspapers were spread in Jinan City.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, two cents each~~"

Dozens of children held newspapers and peddled them in various streets and alleys of Jinan City.

"Give me one."

"I also want……"

"Give me, give me..."

"I'll buy it first, otherwise I won't get it later, and I didn't get it yesterday."

A large group of people came running quickly.

The newsboy happily sold the newspapers one by one, and within half an hour, all the newspapers were sold out: "I... the twenty copies here... have been sold out..."

"Then where else?"

"It's on the next street."

"Hurry up, or it will be gone again."

Not only in Jinan City, but all over the place at this time, when the caravan brought newspapers to the local area and distributed the newspapers to newsboys according to the original plan, the novelty of newspapers suddenly caused an unprecedented commotion.

In Qihe County, 50 miles away from Jinan City, 200 newspapers were sold out immediately.

"Haha, this thief is too miserable. He even went to Zhanwei's yard to steal something. I feel sorry for him..."

"I also think it's very funny. It would be even better if it could be accompanied by a miserable picture of the little thief."

"Look at the news, my God, is the new pier going to be completed so soon? Isn't it too fast?"

"Hey...the newspaper said that those people who participated in the project at the beginning can also own the shares, which account for 30% of the total. Tsk tsk, it's like picking up for nothing. These people have taken advantage of it. In the future, the pier will be rich in money every day. Ah, and the land price of that wasteland is soaring now..."

"I'm really envious. At first I thought it was a lie, so I didn't go. Now I guess I can't even get in."

"Haha~~ This Zhongju joke is too funny."

"The story of the fox fairy is also quite good. Red sleeves add fragrance, and scholars are beautiful."

The states and counties around Jinan digested the remaining 2000 newspapers at once, and they were very popular.

On the third day, 5000 copies of the newspaper were printed and distributed to various provinces in Shandong. It was extremely popular and was sold out almost quickly.

In the days that followed, the Apple News captured the city in Shandong. Although the timeliness would be delayed by a day or two due to the fact that the area was too far away, it was already very popular and even a sensation. The number of publications per day exceeded 1. share.

This era is so lacking in entertainment, Yan Song was surprised that a private newspaper could arouse such a large-scale popularity.

However, this newspaper can't make money, or even loses money. After all, the selling price is too low, and the cost of printing ink and paper is not low.

"Exchange the market with cost", according to Yan Song's instruction, Wang Chi did not raise the price, but promoted the promotion of "Apple News" in various parts of Shandong on a large scale.

On the sixth day, Wang Chi invited merchants from all over the country to discuss the issue of newspaper advertisements. Under Wang Chi's guidance, the first month's newspaper advertisements were sold for a total of 1000 taels of silver. Achieve balance.

Of course, this situation has also attracted the attention of many commercial firms and groups, and the Confucian government is among them.

Seeing the popularity of the newspaper, they were also moved and wanted to try their own business, but after cost accounting, they gave up directly, because if they promoted it on a large scale like Apple Newspaper, they would lose a lot of money in the end. It is meaningless to them to distribute on a small scale all the time, and they cannot make money.
