Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 24 "24" sold out, and more printing was done
Tuesday is a good day to open the market.

Lin Yao's Jianghu Magazine finally officially opened today.

Many people came to congratulate, including Long Gen, Guan Zaisen, Jimmie, and Shiye Su from Liansheng.

Some of Lin Yao's friends, such as ATV's news gathering director, Le Huizhen, also came.

After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, the magazine was officially opened.

The director said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be so daring and actually open a magazine."

"Just to make a living! If there weren't problems within ATV, I wouldn't have quit so quickly." Lin Yao said with a smile.

Le Huizhen stuffed something into Lin Yao's hand and said, "This is a gift for you."

When Lin Yao opened it, he found that it was actually a pure gold God of Wealth.

Le Huizhen said proudly, "I asked for it specially for you. It was blessed by a master. You are not allowed to say you don't like it!"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "I like everything you give me!"

Fang Siwei also brought a gift, and Lin Yao teased her with a few sweet words, making Fang Siwei's face turn red.

For some reason, when Lin Yao saw a girl like Fang Siwei who was as cute as a little white rabbit, he couldn't help but bully her.

Our friends from ATV didn’t stay too long, after all, they still had work to do.

Although there was chaos within ATV, it didn't seem to have much impact on them.

After all, whether it is Le Huizhen or Fang Siwei, both of them are popular stars of ATV. Even if the management is very cruel, they dare not take action against them.

You should know that the wireless station nearby has been eyeing the two beautiful reporters on the scene.

After seeing off his colleagues, Lin Yao came to Long Gen.

"Jiang Hu, isn't your name... too perfunctory?" Long Gen smacked his lips and said to Lin Yao, "Can you really make money by publishing a magazine like this?"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Uncle Long Gen, I won't lose your life! Don't worry!"

"Oh, you little brat!" Long Gen sneered and said, "You've said this before!"

After sending away all the people who came to congratulate him, Lin Yao called the editor of the magazine.

She was the unremarkable woman who received Lin Yao when he came to acquire the magazine.

The woman's name is Yang Siwen, and she is a senior editor in the industry.

Such a person is not easy to find. Lin Yao would not give up on such a person unless he has some problem with his brain.

The other party was also very grateful to Lin Yao for not driving her away, so she always worked seriously.

Lin Yao directly threw the novel manuscript and interview transcript he had prepared to the other party, and then explained: "This is the important content of the first issue of our "Jianghu". As for the other content, just do it the same way as before!"

"Okay, boss!" Yang Siwen took the manuscript and looked at it carefully, then looked at Lin Yao in surprise: "Boss, this novel...who did you commission it from?"

"Is there any problem?" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"It's very interesting. I think a lot of people will like it!" Yang Siwen said with some surprise.

Lin Yao laughed. After all, time-travel stories like "A Journey to the West" were still quite novel in this era, and were perfect for attracting traffic. "What author? I just wrote it randomly!"

Yang Siwen was even more surprised: "Boss, you can write!"

"Just writing for fun!" Lin Yao shrugged and said, "I think someone will like it, but I can't send all these manuscripts out at once! I have to work on them one by one and know how to break them into sections."

"Ah? Broken chapter, what do you mean?" Yang Siwen asked in confusion.

Lin Yao explained to Yang Siwen, "It's about picking the most appealing part of the novel and ending it right there. This builds anticipation in the readers and makes them eager to buy the next issue."

After hearing Lin Yao's explanation, Yang Siwen immediately understood what to do.

He gave Lin Yao a thumbs-up: "Boss, you are really awesome."

Compared to that second-generation rich kid who knows nothing, Lin Yao is the one who wants to run the magazine well.

This made Yang Siwen breathe a sigh of relief.

She'd been a little intimidated by the members of those societies before, but now it seemed their boss, despite being a member of a society, was truly knowledgeable. Lin Yao continued, "Once the editing is done, contact the printing house! Be conservative with the first issue and try to get 6,000 copies out!"

After all, printing magazines costs money, and Lin Yao doesn't dare to produce too many at once.

"Okay, boss!" Yang Siwen nodded quickly.

……

The next day, the freshly published "Jiang Hu" magazine began to be sold at major newsstands.

After all, the magazine had its own fixed partners before

Lin Yao offered a high rebate, so the newsstand owners were all trying their best to sell the "Jiang Hu" magazine to passers-by.

Moreover, the title written by Lin Yao was also very attractive, and Fei Quan was indeed very handsome as the cover character, which attracted many people to buy it.

But without exception, what attracted them the most was the newly serialized "A Journey to the West" in the magazine.

This kind of novel subject matter was something they had never seen before.

Moreover, "The King of Qin" is full of fists and pillows, which is naturally what many people like to watch.

As a result, the reputation of "Jianghu" magazine quickly began to spread by word of mouth.

Moreover, Feiquan’s interview was also very explosive. The slogans he shouted were exactly the same as the ideas of those young people who were full of thoughts about getting involved in society.

"Pick, Hong Le Feiquan, this guy is so majestic!"

"Yeah, I want to be a big brother like Fei Quan in the future!"

"I heard Feiquan is still recruiting. Should we get a red envelope and try our luck?"

"Following a boss like this is so impressive!"

"If I become Fei Quan's disciple, those bastards in school will never dare to bully me again!"

With these two factors complementing each other, 6,000 copies of the magazine, priced at 15 yuan, were sold out on the same day.

However, just when these people were enjoying the show, they discovered that the interaction between Xiang Shaolong and the two sisters Shan Rou and Zhao Zhi in "A Step into the Past" came to an abrupt end.

This made the readers anxious and they were scratching their heads, asking when the next issue would come out.

Then the stall owners who had sold out of magazines began to report back to Lin Yao one by one.

Yang Siwen said to Lin Yao with a delighted look on his face, "Boss, our Jianghu magazine has sold out!"

"Ah? Six thousand copies, sold out so quickly?" Lin Yao asked in surprise.

Yang Siwen nodded: "Many distributors are clamoring for us to print more!"

"Tsk!" Lin Yao stroked his chin, somewhat smugly. "I told you it would work! But as for the reprint...just print 8,000 copies first. If there are more, just ignore them!"

Although the sales were good, Lin Yao also had to consider the risks.

If the market performance is not good after reprinting, the printed magazines will be a waste of money.

After all, they can only be considered a small magazine at best. If they act too radically, they may end up getting themselves killed!
"Okay, boss!" Yang Siwen nodded and immediately went to contact the printing factory.

Just as Lin Yao was whistling and humming a song proudly, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hey, Yaozi, I heard that your magazine "Jianghu" is selling out!" Jimizi's tone was also full of surprise.

After all, he has invested a lot of money in this magazine, so of course he hopes that it will sell as well as possible.

Lin Yao said proudly, "That's right, don't you see who I am? I told you there's something to this!"

"Awesome, awesome!" Jimmie praised sincerely, but then he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How was Xiang Shaolong later? Did he have that?"

Lin Yao was about to answer, but then he realized what was going on and said unhappily, "I haven't written it yet, I don't know, get lost!"

After three consecutive rejections, Lin Yao hung up the phone.
