Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 4: Post support

   Time flies like a white horse, and four days pass by in a flash.

   Looking at the thickly collapsed manuscript of the novel "Looking for the Qin", Xia Yu has a sense of accomplishment.

  Although this novel is not his original, it is not easy to copy it out. The first three volumes contain about 190,000 characters. It takes four days to copy it out, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

   "It's time to submit a manuscript!" Xia Yu muttered over a thick pile of novel manuscripts.

   Then, Xia Yu took the schoolbag and carefully packed the manuscript, said hello to his parents, and went out.

   In the past four days, in addition to being busy with writing, Xia Yu did not waste his free time. He has already considered the issue of submission.

   The most direct way to benefit from a novel is to publish it, but in the absence of a reputation, it is very difficult to publish and the royalties are very low.

   Even if it is successfully published, the probability of hitting the street is very high.

   After all, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley!

   Xia Yu still has self-knowledge, and will not think that he is a rebirth. When the domineering spirit disappears, the publisher worships, the dealer kneels, and the readers gather...

   This situation is completely impossible!

   Even if it depends on the quality of the work, word-of-mouth will be gradually formed after publication, and eventually it will be a big fire, but Xia Yu has no time to wait! Therefore, direct publishing is not an option.

   But fortunately, Xiangjiang published novels in popular newspapers at this time, and published them when they became famous.

   This model is not only conducive to newspapers, to help them attract users; it is also conducive to publishing houses, helping them to screen excellent works, reducing risks, and saving publicity costs; at the same time, it is also conducive to authors by charging more money. It can be said to be profitable!

   So Xia Yu also intends to follow this rule, submit articles to the newspaper, and serialize it in the newspaper.

  Since I intend to serialize it in newspapers, the choice of newspaper is particularly important.

   In Xiangjiang, there are not many other things, but the most newspapers. Because the threshold for running a newspaper is low, as long as you have money, you can run a newspaper. Therefore, various newspapers are emerging one after another, and it is the most densely populated area in the world.

   Among them, the mainstream newspapers include Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Sing Tao Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Cheng Pao, South China Morning Post, etc.

Among these, "Oriental Daily" is a grassroots newspaper, "The Hong Kong Daily" is aimed at senior intellectuals, and "Ming Pao" started from grassroots, but relying on Jin Yong's sharp comments, it has been popular among intellectuals for so many years. Sing Tao Daily targets the middle and lower classes. The South China Morning Post is the largest English-language newspaper in Hong Kong...

   For Xia Yu, the English newspaper "South China Morning Post" was first excluded.

   And because his purpose of writing novels is to make money quickly, under this premise, the more influence he can have, the better, whether it is the treatment of his next book or the subsequent publication and adaptation of "Xun Qin Ji", etc., it is more beneficial. Moreover, the audience of "Xun Qin Ji" is the grassroots masses, so newspapers that are not aimed at the masses are also excluded.

  Thinking about it this way, "Ta Kung Pao," "Hong Kong Daily," and "Sing Pao" also ruled it out.

   Then there are only Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily.

   At this time, the top three sales are "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao."

   Ming Pao ranked third, with an average daily sales of around 130,000. Compared with the top sales in the peak period, one of the reasons is that Jin Yong has already closed the pen and lacks the novels of the martial arts masters comparable to Jin Yong. Although he has risen from the grass roots, Jin Yong has focused on knowledge in recent years. The elements who want to realize their political ambitions ignore the grassroots, so their influence among the grassroots has been relatively weakened in recent years.

   But as long as Jin Yong comes out again, or there are master-level martial arts masters' works, the sales will definitely skyrocket again.

"Sing Tao Daily" belongs to the Sing Tao newspaper industry. It was founded by Hu Wenhu in 1938 and is now controlled by his daughter Hu Xian. Hu Xian has also become the queen of the newspaper industry. Now the average daily sales volume of "Sing Tao Daily" reaches 160,000. Copies. Over the decades, channels have spread throughout Southeast Asia.

   And the "Oriental Daily" is completely rooted in the grassroots. It was founded by Ma Jia in 1969. Later, it has been claimed that it has been the number one sales volume for 35 years, with a maximum of 530,000 copies, covering more than 3.4 million people.

   "Oriental Daily" is the mouthpiece of the Ma family's self-protection and a tool for whitewashing. But I have to say that they did manage to run the newspaper with their heart, and the client base they faced was large, so the sales are the highest now, with an average daily sales of 170,000 copies in this era.

   In addition to the sales factor, Xia Yu also considered the contribution fee.

Although the novel will be well-known in Ming Pao, Mr. Jin is famous for his treatment of authors in Xiangjiang. Xia Yu does not prioritize fame now. What he needs is money, as much money as possible, so Xia Yu didn't put Ming Pao first.

The reason why the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" is so high is because of its wide sales channels, covering the entire Southeast Asia. In addition, the boss Hu Xian is known as the queen of the newspaper industry and is notoriously strong. Xia Yu did not put "Sing Tao The Daily is the top priority.

   As for the "Oriental Daily", Ma's family has always wanted to develop the "Oriental Daily" better, plus the latest establishment, the most inadequate background, the most important one is the bad reputation of Ma's family. The writers are all literati. Most of the famous writers cherish feathers and disdain to associate with Ma's family, which led to the unsatisfactory collection of novels by Dongfang Daily.

   For this reason, "Oriental Daily" can only rely on money, hoping to attract more submissions, and see if we can select better novels. Therefore, the manuscript fee given by Oriental Daily is the highest.

  Fame and profit can be provided by the "Oriental Daily", and both have an advantage. Of course, Xia Yu has the priority to contribute to the "Oriental Daily".

   changing cars all the way, Xia Yu finally came to the door of the "Oriental Daily" building.

   looked up at the signboard of "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu showed a confident smile and strode inside.

   walked to the front desk, Xia Yu said to the receptionist: "Hello, I have written a novel and want to submit it. What is the process?"

   The receptionist was still taken aback when he saw Xia Yu coming in, after all, Xia Yu was just a teenager. At this time, he heard that Xia Yu was here to contribute. He blinked and made sure that he had heard it correctly. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but smile. Inwardly, he sighed that Xia Yu was unable to do anything, but he did not laugh in person. Pointing in one direction, he said: "Post to those rooms, all of them."

   "Okay, thank you!" Xia Yu said thank you and walked to the room pointed by the receptionist.

Looking at Xia Yu’s back, the receptionist smiled and shook his head and said, “It’s better to use money. The president released the news to collect papers at a high price. For the money, everyone is coming to contribute. Now even the children are here. I really think money. There are so easy to pick up. What good novels can children write, ha ha..."

   Of course, Xia Yu didn't hear the receptionist's contemptuous words. He had already arrived at the door of an office with the words'manuscript reading room' on the door. From the outside, you can see a middle-aged man looking down reviewing manuscripts, and his desk is full of novel manuscripts, like a hill.

After    knocked on the door, the middle-aged man didn't look up, and said impatiently: "The door is unlocked, just come in".

   "Hello, I'm here to contribute!" Xia Yu didn't care about his tone, walked in, said, and took out a thick stack of novel manuscripts from his schoolbag.

   At this time, the middle-aged man finally raised his head when he heard someone submitting a manuscript, but after seeing Xia Yu, his face changed a bit, he cursed in a low voice, and then became even more impatient. UU reading www.uukānshu. Com directly put it on the table and went back to wait for the news. Then he lowered his head and continued to review the manuscript without even looking at Xia Yu.

   Seeing the contemptuous attitude of the middle-aged, Xia Yu clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, making him very upset. However, he could only endure what he wanted, put the manuscript on the top of the pile of manuscripts, said thank you, and went out.

   After exiting the door of Oriental Daily, Xia Yu shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still very unhappy."

  Before coming, considering his age, Xia Yu analyzed that he might be underestimated. After all, there is no shortage of people in this world who judge people by their appearances. He didn't expect to encounter such people.

"Forget it, it's over anyway, I'd better buy some more notebooks, and write as much as possible while waiting for the news, so I can get more money at once." Xia Yu murmured, and then prepared to buy pens and paper.

   He has not considered the situation that the manuscript is not acceptable. After all, this is the work of the martial arts master. How could it not be published?

   It's a pity that things are contrary to expectations. Xia Yu didn't consider that in this world, after all, there are always ‘thousands of horses but not Bole’.

After Xia Yu left, the middle-aged reviewing editor picked up Xia Yu's novel draft and browsed it. When Xiang Shaolong crossed to the Qin Dynasty, he smiled disdainfully: "Mao did not grow up and learned how to write. Novels, I still write about Qin Dynasty, I don't even know what Qin Dynasty is, what a little kid knows, what kind of messy crossing, silly writing!"

   The middle-aged reviewing editor flipped through it a few times at random, sneered, and threw it aside, where it was the pile of failed manuscripts.

   "There are still so many novels to be reviewed, most of them are rubbish, and it is annoying to read, %*!" The middle-aged editor rubbed his eyes, looked at the pile of manuscripts on the desktop, cursed, and continued to review the manuscript.
