Father Mavie

Chapter 73 Advertisement
As soon as Ma Wei walked into the newspaper office, he felt a hot atmosphere.

The writer in a neat suit carried stacks of manuscripts and shuttled through the rooms. The narrow corridor seemed a bit crowded, and there was a rumbling noise coming from the innermost room. Those who knew it knew it was steam The sound of the printing press.

It can print 1000 newspapers per hour, and the speed is not bad.

"Toutiao! Tomorrow's Toutiao is out!"

A sweaty, steamy young man rushed into the newspaper office, waving the manuscript in his hand: "The latest news! The Congress has promulgated the "New Religion Law", which will set up religious affairs bureaus in each city. This is a new round of religious affairs." Reformation!"

For such an important matter, it can be said that it is a sure thing to hit the headlines. Whenever Congress enacts any new bill, it can attract people's attention, especially since the Corn Law a few years ago.

Just listening to young people's descriptions, Ma Wei can't get any useful information. At present, he only knows that Congress has promulgated the "New Religion Law", but he doesn't know the specific content. Is it good or bad?

However, the promulgation of the "New Religion Law" means that the battle between royal power and theocracy has finally been decided. This is a major event that every kingdom will experience. If the royal power wins, it will definitely focus on suppressing the big churches and containing them. Rising momentum if theocracy wins
Then the bill for small churches will be introduced quickly.

"Alas, there is little hope of King Quan's victory."

Ma Wei shook his head. If placed in the period of the first religious reformation, the royal power might still have the power to fight, but today when the gods come
Theocracy has formed a one-sided oppressive advantage.

"Sir? What kind of business do you need to handle?"

Behind the counter, the receptionist who took the time waved to Ma Wei and asked with a smile: "If you want to subscribe to a newspaper, our Rose Daily has recently launched two packages. One is monthly customization, and it only costs 2 shillings. You can enjoy a one-month newspaper delivery service, and the second package is annual customization, and the price is more cost-effective than monthly customization."

After the receptionist finished introducing the package, Ma Wei said politely: "I have already subscribed to your newspaper, and I am here today to advertise."

"What type of advertisement is it? Different types of advertisements have different positions and prices."

"Promote the ad, I need a very prominent position."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The receptionist lifted the baffle of the counter and walked into a room not far away with a brass nameplate of [Publicity and Development Department] on the door.

Not long
She returned with a middle-aged man with round glasses on the bridge of his nose and a parted head.

"Sir, this is Mr. Hernan Mott, a salesman from our publicity department. He will be in charge of your advertisement."

Hernan pushed his glasses and looked at Ma Wei from top to bottom. When he saw that the other party was wearing the robe of Father Dararis, he smiled slightly: "Father, this is not a place to talk, please follow me."

"it is good."

At his invitation, Ma Wei entered the [Propaganda Department] room and came to his seat in the corner.

"Please sit down."

Hernan pointed to the chair by the table and asked, "What's your name, Father?"

"Mavi Enders, priest of the Church of Truth."

"Hmm, Father Marvie, are you going to place an advertisement to promote the church in our Rose Daily?"

"To be precise, I want to run a mousetrap advertisement," said Marvey. "The Ross Daily is published in County Wexford, which is very suitable for my requirements."

"A mousetrap ad?"

Hernan picked up the hand warmer wrapped in a dry towel on the table, leaned back, and asked curiously, "Could it be an advertisement like a mouse catching company?"

"almost."

"If this is the case, I don't recommend you to choose the most conspicuous advertising space." He pondered and said, "As you said just now, although our Ross Daily is only a tabloid published in Wexford County, because it is It is an official news organization, so the fees are not cheap. The price of the most prominent advertising space is 5 shillings a day. Usually, only some pharmaceutical companies, maritime companies and clothing companies will choose it. You might as well choose the second-level space. The price is only 2 shillings a day, which is much more cost-effective.”

"Where is the next-level ad slot?"

"On the left edge of the vice-page."

Hernan opened the drawer and took out a newspaper from this morning. The first page was the headline on the front page, and the advertisement was on the vertical edge on the right. When reading the newspaper, one would catch a glimpse of it inadvertently.

As for the second-level advertising space, you need to turn one page back, and the position is also arranged vertically at the edge of the page.

"Generally speaking, newspaper advertisements are divided into three levels. The first level is the front page advertisement that you saw just now, priest. It has a conspicuous position, the best effect, and the highest price. Advertisements are placed on the edge of a page, so that readers can see them inadvertently, and the effect is not bad, as for the third level."

Hernan grinned, shook his head and said, "Of course it's the large-scale advertising area on the last few pages of the newspaper. It's 3 pence a day. They're all piled up together. The effect is the worst. Except for customers in need, no one will read it."

The announcement of advertisements is not Ma Wei's counterpart major. Few people read newspapers in his era. Who cares about these?

But Hernan Mott is obviously one of the old fritters, well versed in newspapers.

The plan he gave is also very suitable for the Church of Truth.

"According to what you said, publish it on the second-level advertising space." Ma Wei accepted Hernan's proposal. He is not a self-willed person. As long as the proposal is appropriate and appropriate, he will definitely accept it, not for the sake of face. , Bite to death those who are stubborn and will not step down.

Well, that's right, he was talking about Dino the Gray Wolf.

"How many days will it be published?"

Hernan put down the hand warmer, picked up a pencil, and turned out a blank sheet of paper: "Within 7 days, the effect is the best."

"Seven days. Enough." Ma Wei nodded: "Published for 7 days."

"Hmm. What's the content? No more than 150 words."

"It's very simple. You just need to explain on it that the Church of Truth will derat the people whose area is less than 100 square meters for free. If the deratting area is larger than 100 square meters, it will be calculated at a price of 1 Faxin per square meter."

1 penny is equal to 4 farxins, which may not seem like much, but when Hernan heard the price, his writing arm still froze, and he slowly raised his head, and said in a surprised tone: "Father Mavi, have you figured out how much it is?" Money? It's free and it's paid. Oh, that's so clever!"

Suddenly, Hernan's eyes lit up, as if he understood Ma Wei's intentions.

"For the vast majority of common people, the usable area of ​​their houses usually does not exceed 100 square meters, and even if it exceeds, it will not exceed too much. On the contrary, those gentry and noble gentlemen who own country manors live in places far exceeding 100 square meters!"

"Giving free rat eradication to the common people, while promoting the church, spread the news. The news reached the ears of the gentry and the nobles, and they would definitely not be able to sit still. The only problem is the efficiency and survival rate of the Church of Truth's rat eradication. If we can break through this technical difficulty, the gentry and nobles will not be stingy with their money!"

"This is killing two birds with one stone!"
