Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"Yes! Newsstand on xx Road, xx District, deliver 300... no, 500 newspapers to me, and be quick!"

"XX Road, hurry up and give me a thousand copies! You don't have any? Are you guys at a joke? Then give me five hundred, take a taxi, I'll reimburse the fare..."

……

Immediately, many readers scrambled to buy a copy of the Taishan Daily.

The market has been thoroughly taught a lesson by Jin Yong: if you rush to buy today's newspaper, the price will only be one yuan.

After today, if you want to buy this chapter of the newspaper, you can only buy it from other people, or buy it from newsstand owners who hoard newspapers at a higher price.

And it's not just newsstand owners.

Readers who had endured the agonizing wait for Jin Yong's novels to be serialized saw a business opportunity and began hoarding the newspapers, buying dozens of copies at a time.

Longtime readers know that newspapers are extremely easy to damage.

The more chapters a serialized story has, the higher the rate of damage to the earliest chapters of the newspaper becomes.

The higher the damage rate, the higher the price will be in the later stages.

Many readers even enjoy the serialized chapters in the newspaper and buy them to cut out a book as a keepsake.

And these chapters that have just started are the most sought after!

"Recall all employees to work overtime, print more copies! Print more copies!"

"Go to their homes if they don't answer the phone; there's overtime pay!"

"Everyone, perk up!"

Not only were the employees in the distribution and printing departments of Taishan Newspaper busy, but the entire Taishan Newspaper Group was in an uproar.

Even those who are temporarily free can help issue overtime pay.

The 100,000 newspapers distributed in the morning sold out in just over two hours, and newsstand owners in various districts called to request newspaper deliveries.

Later on, no one answered the phone at all. They would go to any newsstand to deliver newspapers, not afraid of being refused.

If it weren't for the remaining 50,000 newspapers in stock, the doors of Taishan Newspaper Group would have been broken down!

It was from this time that discussions about "Tang Dynasty Brick" and "A Step into the Past" could be heard on streets big and small throughout Hong Kong.

Both time-travel novels depict the most prosperous period of Chinese history, and their style, distinct from traditional martial arts novels, is truly eye-opening.

Readers familiar with history can't help but be immersed in it, imagining what kind of changes they would cause if they traveled to ancient times.

Unlike readers, actual writers are more concerned about "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

This book, overlooked by readers, revealed the true horror to the writers.

If "Tang Dynasty Brick" and "A Step into the Past" clearly explained the background of their worlds from the very beginning, then "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is like a giant sea monster, hiding its world background beneath endless waves.

What readers know about "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is only the tip of the iceberg. In the eyes of the writers, however, what they see is the vivid and detailed scales of a deep-sea monster.

All writers, regardless of their personal feelings towards these three novels, are compelled to take them seriously and pay attention to them.

Meanwhile, Taishan Newspaper Group's reputation has become firmly established in the industry!

Daily sales of 150,000 copies were not the limit; printing continued even in the afternoon until sunset, when the content for the next day was changed and printing continued at a frantic pace.

The daily sales figures for other newspapers had already been tallied, but Taishan Newspaper Group's messy accounts were simply impossible to keep track of.

There's no count of how many copies were printed, no count of how many were distributed, and no time to keep track of raw material costs, employee overtime pay, profits, expenses, or daily sales.

Zhang Lian and his two employees began to doubt themselves amidst the ever-increasing amount of bills.

Judging from the thickness of this bill, the three of them would have to work all night until tomorrow morning to calculate it.

The bills for tomorrow morning will arrive, and the seemingly endless stream of bills leaves Zhang Lian and his team feeling bewildered.

Zhang Lian wanted to transfer people from other departments to help, but there was no one available.

The printing department has been working continuously for eleven hours, and some people must be sent home to sleep.

The people in the distribution department are running around like dead dogs today, so don't expect them to help.

As for the staff of the editorial department, communications department, and advertising department, they had already been taken away by the printing and distribution departments.

Even some of the news department's reporters were conscripted.

Just then, the lights in the hallway suddenly went out.

It turned out that it was already very late, and the receptionist was preparing to leave work.

and many more……

get off work?

Zhang Lian's eyes lit up, and he opened the office door, shamelessly reaching out his hand to the receptionist who was about to leave work...

Xiaoshan was busy all day long.

From answering the phone at the beginning, to later calling suppliers to chase up raw materials...

Despite having hired a lot of employees in advance, today was just too busy!

Furthermore, there is still a period of adjustment between new and old employees.

Xiaoshan believes he bears significant responsibility for the current chaotic situation.

So Xiao Shan stayed at the newspaper office all night!

At this moment, at the Oriental Daily News.

While the Taishan Daily was compiling statistics overnight, someone had already calculated that daily sales would be at least 370,000 copies!

"Bang!" The report was slammed heavily onto the table. Da Ma roared angrily, "370,000 newspapers sold in a single day? Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?"

It's worth noting that the combined daily circulation of the top three newspapers in Hong Kong is only a little over 400,000 copies.

The Taishan Daily is now almost on par with them, which sounds like a fantasy!

Even before Jin Yong retired from writing, Ming Pao's daily sales didn't reach such a staggering number.

The managers of the Oriental Daily dared not speak, fearing they might incur trouble at this moment.

However, in their view, this daily sales volume is entirely possible.

Before Jin Yong stopped writing, Hong Kong's newspaper industry was not as prosperous.

The market has now been thoroughly educated by Jin Yong.

The 370,000 newspapers do not mean that 370,000 people bought the newspapers; rather, it means that many people bought many copies and hoarded them.

If it weren't for the insufficient production capacity of the Taishan Daily, the daily sales of 370,000 copies would definitely not be the end.

Unlike the Oriental Daily, the Taishan Daily, while also timely, accounts for a small proportion of its content and cannot even be considered a news newspaper.

Therefore, hoarding Taishan Daily is a worthwhile endeavor.

Even if the newspaper clippings were compiled into a book and sold to Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, the Chinese there would be willing to pay for it.

Unless the people at Taishan Daily are stupid, they won't publish the three novels as a book before they've finished serializing them in the newspaper.

This is why many people hoard Taishan Daily!

Because that's what they did when Jin Yong was serializing his novels.

And history has proven that this deal was a sure win!

They believe that of the 370,000 newspapers distributed today, many are certainly in the hands of newsstand owners and have not actually been sold.

They were waiting for the novel to gain positive word-of-mouth in the Taishan Daily before selling the stockpiled early chapters at a high price.

Of course, they didn't dare tell Malaysia about these things, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Malaysia.

Because they all know what made Malaysia what it is today!

How many unknown methods did the Oriental Daily use to grow to its current size?

What they really wanted to say was that Taishan Daily posed no threat to Oriental Daily.

The Taishan Daily is just a newspaper in name only.

The real-time news section is too weak, and other sections such as finance are even weaker.

It's more like a serialized novel than a news newspaper.

However, precisely because they are familiar with Malaysia, they dare not speak the truth.

Since Governor MacLehose took office, the power of Hong Kong's triads has been suppressed far too severely.

As a result, many clubs are on edge and in a state of panic.

Oriental Daily News, which controls the media, is the protective umbrella that made the Hong Kong Governor wary of the Ma family.

It proved to be effective, and the Ma family was thus protected.

Therefore, the rise of Taishan Daily is bound to challenge the leading position of Oriental Daily News, which is the fundamental reason why Malaysia cannot afford it!

"Why is everyone so quiet? A bunch of useless people! All of you, think of a way to bring down the momentum of this Taishan Daily!" Seeing the silent executives, Da Ma's anger flared up even more!

……

Looking at the Taishan Daily on the table, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He never expected that Xiaoshan would allow Taishan Daily to rise to prominence so quickly!

Newspapers are a powerful tool for propaganda, controlling the discourse of public opinion.

The sudden rise of Taishan Newspaper Group signifies the emergence of a person with strong voice and influence.

Although the Taishan Daily publishes almost exclusively serialized novels, with such a huge daily sales volume, adding anything can easily influence public opinion.

Smart people never underestimate the power of public opinion.

As long as the sales volume of Taishan Daily remains stable, no one will dare to provoke it at will.

If the Taishan Daily publishes negative news about a person or family, it will have a huge impact on them, regardless of whether the news is true or false, and can easily put them in trouble.

"I really underestimated Xiaoshan!" Lou Bancheng couldn't help but sigh.

For the next week, sales of the Taishan Daily continued to rise.

Finally, the sales volume of Taishan Daily stabilized at 420,000.

Small fluctuations within this range.

When the news was disclosed by the Taishan Daily itself, it immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong!

Oriental Daily's long-standing position as the top newspaper in the industry has been forcefully snatched away by Taishan Daily!

Xiao Shan naturally knew how Oriental Daily's Malaysian and Chinese branches got their start.

Therefore, in order to prevent Da Ma and Xiao Ma from causing trouble for him, Xiao Shan plans to set up his own security company.

Use your own people to protect your own industry!

As for the source of employees for the security company, they are naturally recruited from veterans in mainland China!

After making up his mind, Xiao Shan called Tan Chengjia directly and asked him to help recruit a group of veterans for him!

When Tan Chengjia learned that Xiao Shan had actually gained a foothold in Hong Kong and had even begun to control public opinion there, he agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Chengjia immediately reported the situation in Xiaoshan to his superiors!

The authorities certainly value Hong Kong highly!

Now that they know that Xiaoshan, a native of mainland China, has achieved such success in Hong Kong, they naturally won't hesitate to lend him a hand.

So the higher-ups directly ordered Tan Chengjia to recruit a group of soldiers who were about to be discharged from the army and secretly send them to Hong Kong!

Chapter 585, The Opponent's Counterattack! (Please Subscribe!)

For these veterans, being able to work in a good place like Hong Kong is naturally something they would be extremely happy to do.

After all, in this day and age, many people still have to smuggle themselves into Hong Kong!

After securing the personnel, Tan Chengjia immediately called Xiaoshan to report the good news.

Xiao Shan was speechless when he heard that Tan Chengjia had been brought over by a soldier who was about to retire from the army.
