He opened the Mountain City Life Daily he had brought and read the headlines.

"A Travelogue of the Riverside in the Mountain City!"

"Night view of the main street of the mountain city!"

Who wrote these two articles?

Two reserved girls in the audience slowly raised their hands and lowered their heads in shame.

Lin Yifeng showed no mercy to the two of them, slamming the newspaper onto the blackboard and shouting sternly.

"I'm just asking, does this have anything to do with daily life?"

“Starting tomorrow, Editor Liu, anyone who dares to give you such pretentious manuscripts will be expelled from the newspaper.”

Liu Shengxing nodded in shame.

The reason their newspaper has no readers is, in a sense, because they can't find good topics.

There weren't any major problems with the writing style of the entire newspaper, but the other staff members were somewhat literary types, and they would occasionally publish a few essays in the newspaper.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yifeng had already seized control of the newspaper.

A group of people, like students in school, surrounded Liu Shengxing, listening to Lin Yifeng's instructions on stage.

"Secondly, I need you all to get moving."

"Starting tomorrow, you are free to run around Shanyang City and collect news."

"Two people work together to organize the manuscripts, and they receive a weekly activity subsidy of 20 yuan."

"At the same time, if the article is successfully published, there will be a corresponding payment."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below was overjoyed.

Liu Shengxing hadn't expected that Lin Yifeng, who had only been there a short time, had already planned sweeping reforms for the newspaper.

Of course, the biggest reason why the Mountain City Life Daily lacks influence is that they are too poor.

Let alone going out to find news, this group of people might have trouble even getting food.

With Lin Yifeng, a major financial backer, joining them, their logistics were somewhat guaranteed, which also helped improve the quality of their article output.

The most important point is Lin Yifeng's next changes.

"Third point."

Lin Yifeng looked around the room with a serious expression.

"Starting next week, the Mountain City People's Voice Daily will be changed to a weekly publication, released once a week."

"The price is 4 yuan per month, with each round lasting 4 weeks and the release taking place on Saturday."

A sudden uproar erupted inside the room.

"4 yuan? Is anyone going to buy that at all?"

"Isn't this price a bit too high?"

"That's equivalent to one yuan per serving?"

The crowd immediately began to discuss the matter, and most people were not optimistic about Lin Yifeng's suggestion.

In those days, newspapers generally cost 50 cents each, and two were published a week.

Newspapers that can be priced at 1 yuan are relatively rare.

Firstly, the readership of newspapers is relatively small; those who work in the fields basically don't read them, and those who come to Shanyang City to work rarely waste their money on them.

Most of those who want to buy are literate, have read books, and have some spare money.

Most people would pass around a newspaper to read, or collect waste newspapers and exchange them by weight for money.

The newspaper readership is only a small part; there are even people in parks who help read the newspapers.

This price was considered high for a newspaper at the time, especially considering that Lin Yifeng was subscribing to it for 4 yuan a month.

While everyone in the room was still discussing the pricing issue, Guo Fengsheng had already realized what was going on.

As someone who graduated from a vocational school, he usually buys magazines and reads newspapers.

He knew very well that if he wanted to buy a newspaper, he had to go to a newsstand.

The price of 4 yuan is just for outsiders; in reality, the newsstand gets this price from 3 yuan per month.

Only a very small number of people will spend 4 yuan to order newspapers directly from them; most people get their newspapers from regular newsstands.

In effect, it shifted the risk of price to the newsstand.

But for newsstands, this is almost risk-free.

They have new and old newspapers. Even if sales are not good in a particular week, the newsstand can still make a profit by selling the newspapers at a discount price of 80 cents.

This alone, with the accumulated newspapers and the pile of new ones, means that the newsstand will have their newspapers every week, and there will be a continuous supply.

Newsstands also allow you to see the quantity purchased, so you can consider whether to order more next month.

This move also made Guo Fengsheng gasp in surprise.

He couldn't help but start to wonder what Lin Yifeng was thinking about all the time.

His move was a game-changer for the entire newspaper industry.

It perfectly filters out the problems between the newspaper and the readers, turning them into a connection between the newspaper and the newsstand.

Brilliant! That was a brilliant move!

As for the newspaper, after Lin Yifeng had stated all his needs, he didn't have many other requests.

Of course, Lin Yifeng also asked them to move to the city and asked Guo Fengsheng to find them a place to settle down.

This aspect doesn't cost too much money.

All you need to do is rent two decent old, run-down apartments so they have a place to live, and then submit the original prints to the printing factory when the time comes, and printing can begin.

After all, this is a well-established newspaper, and a complete industrial chain is indispensable. Lin Yifeng doesn't need to put in too much effort in this regard.

That evening, Lin Yifeng treated everyone to a delicious meal and drinks, and everyone enjoyed a good time in Shanyang City.

After a few rounds of drinks at the dinner table, Liu Shengxing, with his arm around Lin Yifeng's neck, drunkenly shouted and gesturing.

"Comrade Xiaolin, I've managed to hold on for so long until you arrive."

"I did it all for this sake."

"I just want to ask those people at the Chongqing Daily."

"Why should we Chinese be inferior to those foreign devils!"
