Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't want Readers Times to be too high-profile at this time, since the top management had been recruited, it made no sense not to hold a press conference.

And no matter how careful you are, the people from the five major newspapers will not give up suppressing you just because of this.

So on the seventh day after Gao Qiaoshan and others took office, Lin Daoqiu held a grand media press conference at the Neon Imperial Hotel.

Before the press conference, Lin Daoqiu had already released some relevant information, but what is interesting is that many foreign media came to attend the media conference this time, including Xiangjiang who also sent many reporters to Neon.

However, only very few Neon local reporters came to attend this media conference. Only two of the five major newspapers came, and the other three did not send anyone at all, including of course the "Daily News".

Lin Daoqiu and others are not surprised by this situation. After all, it is difficult for Readers Times to reach a settlement with the five major newspapers. In this case, whether they send people or not will not matter to Readers Times.

any impact.

In order to express his support for "Readers Times", Lin Daoqiu personally appeared at the scene to cheer up Gao Qiaoshan and others.

However, he did not go on stage, but sat in the audience, leaving the control of the media conference to Takahashi San and others.

"Dear guests present, colleagues at home and abroad, hello everyone, I am Gao Qiaoshan, the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times". Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the media press conference we held..."

As the editor-in-chief of "Readers Times", Gao Qiaoshan is the protagonist of today's press conference.

It seems that Takahashi Shan looks radiant today. He has not appeared in front of the public like this for a long time. Very few people know that he was actually the former editor-in-chief of the "Daily News".

Takahashi thanked the guests and colleagues on the stage, and then talked about some things before and after the establishment of "Reader Times", and then Tatsuya Furuhashi and other deputy editors briefly said a few words, but everyone

There was no interesting news from beginning to end, and the whole process was quite satisfactory.

Finally, Lin Daoqiu took the stage to deliver a speech, announcing the official establishment of the Neon branch of "Readers Times", and the media press conference officially ended.

It stands to reason that there should be a celebration banquet after the press conference, but Lin Daoqiu and others did not go directly to a high-end restaurant to dine, but returned directly to the headquarters of "Readers Times".

In fact, Lin Daoqiu originally planned to have a good meal with Gao Qiao Shan and others to encourage them, but Lin Dao Qiu's proposal was declined by Gao Qiao Shan and others.

Moreover, they not only declined Lin Daoqiu's proposal, but also invited Lin Daoqiu to the headquarters of "Readers Times", as if they wanted to discuss business matters.

"There is no need to rush. After all, Readers Times has just been established and there are many things that need to be smoothed out. The most important thing for us now is to establish a foothold in Neon."

Lin Daoqiu sat at the main seat in the conference room, looking at Gao Qiaoshan and others below and said.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Gao Qiaoshan looked at each other seriously.

"Mr. Lin, if we publish a magazine or newspaper now, how many copies do you think we can sell?"

It was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to give an accurate answer to this question raised on Gaoqiao Mountain, because there were simply no readers of "Readers Times" in Neon.

And even if someone buys it, I'm afraid it's just some readers who are willing to give it a try. It doesn't mean that they will become loyal readers of "Readers Times".

"It won't be too many, there should be several hundred copies."

Lin Daoqiu believes that no matter what happens, if "Readers Times" really spreads its sales in Neon, the daily sales volume will definitely exceed several hundred copies, but this level of sales is basically equivalent to "Readers Times".

Ignore it and don't remember it, so it has no meaning at all to Lin Daoqiu.

"Since Mr. Lin knows this, I hope the acquisition can be carried out in advance. Otherwise, sitting in the newspaper office doing nothing every day will be a waste of time."

If "Readers Times" wants to quickly gain a large number of readers in Neon, the only way is to spend money to acquire other newspapers and magazines, so that they can bring their readers together. Only in this way can "Readers Times"

》Acquire a large number of readers in Neon in the shortest time.

If Lin Daoqiu planned to start "Reader Times" from scratch, it would be difficult for Gao Qiaoshan and others, and they would not be able to accompany Lin Daoqiu to slowly develop a newspaper.

"Before this, I have asked people to investigate newspapers and magazines that can be acquired, but you should also know very well that the local situation in Neon is very complicated, and our target is some medium-sized newspapers and magazines, and we want to buy them.

It will take time to come down."

If magazines and newspapers that are on the rise want to buy it as soon as possible, not only will they have to spend a lot of money, but they may not be willing to sell it to you.

Those who were willing to conclude a deal immediately were all newspapers that were unable to make ends meet or were about to go bankrupt. Buying such newspapers would not have much effect on the Readers Times, so Lin Daoqiu did not intend to cast a wide net from the beginning.

It lists a group of high-quality newspapers and magazines for acquisition negotiations.

"There are a total of ten medium-sized magazines and newspapers in the list I listed. If all of them can be successfully acquired, Readers Times knows that the daily sales volume will be conservatively estimated to reach 100,000 copies."

The conservative estimate Lin Daoqiu mentioned refers to the most ideal possibility, but basically this possibility is impossible to exist.

Because once "Readers Times" buys those newspapers and magazines, some of the original readers will definitely be lost, which will cause their original daily sales to become less accurate.

Under such circumstances, if you want to retain the original readers and continue to expand new readers, it depends on the quality of newspapers and magazines themselves.

"I hope that within a month, "Readers Times" will be able to release the first issue of the newspaper and publication."

Gao Qiaoshan looked at Lin Daoqiu with a serious face and said, this is his request to Lin Daoqiu, and it is also his personal hope.

"Within a month? Well...if everything goes well, it should be possible. You should also be prepared. After all, the progress of the negotiations may be advanced or delayed. All of this is uncertain.

I can't give an accurate answer now."
