Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

A certain teahouse in Wuxu City was extremely lively today. Many tea drinkers gathered their heads together to look at something. From time to time, an exclamation could be heard from the crowd.Curious passers-by will stop and listen carefully, and they will hear the tea guest chanting "It's so beautiful, the color is so beautiful", "I was thinking about how beautiful Daji is before, but now I know how beautiful it is." She deserves to be a demon concubine who can fascinate the king of Shang Zhou, she is really beautiful", "How many colors are there in this picture, it is so beautiful".

The passer-by grabbed the teahouse clerk and asked with a smile, "What are they discussing?"

"Wuxu Tu Pictorial." The clerk laughed and said, "Illustrated published a color newspaper this morning. It is very beautiful. Because it has just been printed, it is given a discount. The price is the same as that of black and white. Did you buy it? Many people bought it, even Some people who had never bought newspapers before did so."

"Colored newspapers." A passer-by murmured, just at this time a newsboy was hawking the newspaper in his hand, and was stopped by a passerby, "Newsboy, do you still have Wuxutu Pictorial? Give me a copy, by the way, I want a colored version." Yes, the same price as the black and white version, right?"

"Sorry, sir, the color version has been sold out." The newsboy looked at the man apologetically, and at the same time regretted that he was too slow to grab the others. From the first time he saw the color newspaper, the newsboy knew the color newspaper It must be a good seller.He thought about it, and the other newsboys thought about it too. The last few newsboys almost fought, and he didn't care if he won thirty or forty copies. This is usually a lot of copies, but they were sold out after walking around from the street to the end. , he ran back to look for it again, but there was nothing left.

The passer-by asked in surprise, "What time is it?"

"The color version was so popular, it was gone in half an hour."

"Okay then." At first, the passer-by didn't have the kind of expectation that he had to buy it, but after doing this, he really wanted to buy it.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." A few young boys gathered together to read the pictorial of Wuxutu, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked the brightly colored and exquisitely painted villains.

A little boy stretched out his tender little hand to touch it, but was hit hard by a chubby hand.

Hiss, the little boy withdrew his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

Zhang Dong pouted unhappily, "I told you that you can only look at it but not touch it. I will treasure this colored version when I go back. Don't lose the color for me."

The little boy who was beaten said aggrievedly: "I just like it so much."

"Then let your parents buy it for you."

"I asked them to buy it when I went back. I already had Wuxutu pictorial at home. Our family liked it very much. I didn't know it was printed in color."

Shen Chengran glanced at the little chubby boys, then took out his colorful Wuxutu pictorial from his schoolbag, and deliberately unfolded it with a rattling sound, which really attracted the attention of the little boys.

Zhang Dong's little chubby reacted the most, jumping up from the stool, "Shen Chengran, why do you have this newspaper?"

Shen Chengran didn't answer. In the class, Shen Chengran had always been a loner who never got close to his classmates. He was always alone, as if he was very busy.

The little boy who was beaten ran up to Shen Chengran, raised Bai Shengsheng's little face, looked at Shen Chengran with flickering eyes, and asked expectantly: "Student Shen Chengran, do you sell the newspaper in your hand?"

All the students in the class knew that Shen Chengran's family background was not good. He had an older brother who worked in Shen's, and it seemed that he also had an older sister.I'm not sure if there are any classmates. I only heard that some classmates have seen his sister pick him up, but they don't know whether it is true or not.But even having an older sister is useless, and it can't help the family earn money. The family still has to rely on his brother for life, so even if the Shen family pays a high salary, the family's life is miserable.

Therefore, every time Shen Chengran got something good through his brother, he would sell it in the class, so the little boy asked this question.

Shen Chengran glanced at the little boy, but was not moved by the cuteness of the little boy, and said indifferently: "Sell, six cents."

The black and white version of Wuxu Tu Pictorial costs five cents. During the discount period, the color version is the same price as the black and white version, so Shen Zhen only increases the price by one cent.

The little boy immediately rummaged in the sleeve pockets of his long shirt, and quickly found six cents and handed it to Shen Chengran.

Shen Chengran handed the newspaper to the little boy without any hesitation, just opened his small purse, poured the copper coins into the purse one by one, and fastened it tightly.

The beautiful big eyes are bent, revealing a crescent-shaped half-arc, full of Xiaocai fascination.

Zhang Dong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You look poor."

Every time he brought something good to school to show off, he was always interrupted before he even started.

The little boy happily returned to his seat with the newspaper in his hand and sat down. The classmates who had surrounded Zhang Dong just now scattered to read the little boy's newspaper.

"Can I touch it?"

"Yes." The little boy said softly.

The sales volume of the color edition pictorial was even better than Shen Chengrun expected. Many customers from other provinces had requested color editions. The staff said distressedly: "Three bosses, one thousand copies of our color editions are not enough. Now many old customers are asking us to In the past when the color version was given away, these old customers have been ordering newspapers since we opened the newspaper, if we don’t distribute them, I’m afraid it will chill the hearts of old customers.”

Shen Chengrun said: "In this way, we will mail the color-printed version to those who have ordered newspapers before, and we will say that color-printed black and white newspapers are not available during the discount period.

If [-] copies are not enough, we will reprint it, and the discount period is only for the first month, so even if we make a loss, we will not be able to pay much. "

The steward smiled and said, "It's not worth it, at most it's not making money."

"Just one month, it's considered a regular customer benefit."

"Listen to Mr. Shen."

At this moment, a man in a dark long mandarin jacket walked into the newspaper office. He was holding a roll of things in his hand. When he saw Shen Chengrun and the others, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Bai, and Mr. Shao are all here."

"Please come in quickly, why are you here?" The person here is the chief creator of "Golitic Daily", which is very famous in Wuxu City, and has become famous for daring to tell the truth.No matter which handsome man, no matter how hard the pen is in his hand, he dares to speak out.Even Marshal Wu Xu was often criticized by him.

When Bai Mingyang first started his own newspaper, he used "Politics Daily" as his idol. He wanted to start such a newspaper, but due to various factors, his newspaper was not completed and almost closed down. It was Shen Chengrun who got involved later. This is what brought the dead back to life.

"Mr. Tao, a rare visitor." Bai Mingyang stared at Tao Shengnan with piercing eyes, walked up to him enthusiastically and opened the stool for him, "Sit here."

Tao Shengnan was taken aback by his enthusiasm. Although he and Wuxutu Pictorial had different selling points, one sold pictures and the other news, they both sold newspapers, and they were somewhat of a competition. Even Bai Ming Yang Xin didn't mind much, but he wasn't so enthusiastic.

Instead, Tao Shengnan was so scared that he started to think wildly. Shen Chengrun had no choice but to explain for Bai Mingyang: "Mr. Tao may not know that you are Mingyang's idol. Before Mingyang started a newspaper, he wanted to start a newspaper like you that dare to tell the truth. Newspapers that dared to criticize the authorities failed to succeed.

He himself has experienced the difficulties of running a newspaper, so he admires you even more. "

Tao Shengnan obviously let out a long breath. He thought that Bai Mingyang was a cat wishing a mouse a new year, and he didn't have good intentions.

"I don't dare to do it, but I admire the three of them more. Being able to run a newspaper while still in school is much better than I used to be." Tao Shengnan said politely.

"Where, the interest is different." Bai Mingyang's cheeks flushed with excitement, "I'm just telling you a story for entertainment."

"The newspaper run by the three gentlemen is not just for entertainment. I also subscribe to the newspaper. I found that many stories seem to make people laugh and absurd, but there are deep meanings behind them. It's not that the gentlemen invited by our newspaper can't write well. It just so happens that the writing is so good that the common people can't read it.

It is your simple stories that teach them many things. "

"That means both of our newspapers are good." Shao Hongjun said with a smile.

"Yes, everything is fine." Tao Shengnan also laughed.

"I don't know why Mr. Tao is here?" Shen Chengrun asked.

"There really are." Tao Shengnan took out the newspaper, "I don't see that the color edition of your newspaper sells very well. We also want to test the waters with a special edition. It happens to be the [-]th anniversary of our newspaper in a few days, so I will make a color edition." commemorative edition."

Many newspaper offices have printing machines, but there are few color printing machines, mainly because they are useless. At this time, most newspapers are in black and white, and color printing is not used.Color printing machines are expensive and difficult to buy, so even major newspapers rarely have them.

If Shen Chengrun's newspaper was just an ordinary newspaper, Shen Chengrun might not have introduced it. This didn't take into account that they were pictorial newspapers, and the colorful ones were more attractive, and they were introduced as a selling point.

"No problem. It's rare that Mr. Tao can come here once. We will give you a discount here. You can come back next time after you print it. It must be more favorable than others." Shen Chengrun said with a smile.

"Thank you." When Tao Shengnan came, he knew that Wuxutu Pictorial would definitely take the job, but he really didn't expect the three of them to be so enthusiastic.

He thought that no matter what, the three main creators were young people, and they might be more or less taboo towards colleagues with interests.

After sending Tao Shengnan away, Bai Mingyang was still very excited, "Oh my God, Tao Shengnan has come to our newspaper to publish it. I never thought that there would be a day like that. It is one of the best newspapers in Wuxu."

Shao Hongjun said: "Don't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige, our Wuxutu Pictorial is also very powerful now, okay?"

"That's true." Bai Mingyang scratched his head with a smile.

After leaving the newspaper office, Shen Chengrun returned to Ye's house, and Ye Yi had already returned, "How is the sales of the color edition?"

Shen Chengrun noticed that there was a color-printed version of Wuxutu pictorial on the table, so he knew it was bought by Ye Yi on purpose.

"Very good, but I feel that the main sales must be black and white." Shen Chengrun said while sitting next to Ye Yi, picked up the phone and called Mark.

"I have a four-color flat-gravure printing machine here, but you don't have one over there. Would you like to take a few back with you this time?"

Mark yelled strangely, "No way, you have produced a new machine in just a few days. I thought the machine that produced tape last time was already the pinnacle of your technology."

Mark, as a foreigner, even though he has failed in doing business in China, still feels that China's technology is backward.

At that time, he could accept the machines for producing tapes, mainly because the tapes were first invented in Huaxia, so he didn't make any fuss about Huaxia making the machines first.

The printing press was different. It had been imported from their country before, and Mark was surprised that the technology had caught up overnight.

Mark said: "If I don't take it back, my main business is not in this area."

"What's the matter, as long as there is money to make." Shen Chengrun still used the machine to earn back the money that foreigners earned in China before. How could he let Mark go easily? He must use Mark to tear a hole and let foreigners know that they are in China. There are also advanced printing machines, so come to Huaxia to buy them if you want them.
