Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 276: Taking Steps to Expose the Leaders of Shuiyun Town Government

Inside the room, many people were writing furiously at their desks, while others carried stacks of manuscripts and moved around the room.

Compared to the previous dilapidated courtyard, the space here is significantly larger, and the working environment is much better.

Although the room was still not very big, everyone didn't care at all and continued to work in an orderly manner.

Anxious shouts could be heard from inside the house from time to time.

"Hasn't the third page been completed yet? It's going to be printed the day after tomorrow, hurry up."

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, the municipal government wants to have dinner with you tonight to discuss the renovation of old residential areas next year."

"Okay, I understand."

In a corner of the room, Liu Shengxing, wearing glasses, was constantly reviewing the various manuscripts that had been submitted that day.

Compared to two weeks ago, the newspaper office is now extremely busy.

In addition to articles from their own newspaper, there are also many submissions from outside, and everyone is working overtime every day to organize the articles.

Although it's much harder than before, everyone truly loves this job.

So much so that even after Lin Yifeng entered the house, no one noticed his arrival.

Until a young girl who was about to leave bumped into Lin Yifeng.

She looked up at Lin Yifeng and paused for a moment, then shouted excitedly.

"boss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately stopped what they were doing.

Liu Shengxing looked up at Lin Yifeng standing at the door, his face filled with disbelief.

"Comrade Xiaolin, why didn't you tell us you were coming?"

"Come here, come here, let me introduce you."

Liu Shengxing, supporting himself on the table, hurried over to Lin Yifeng's side and enthusiastically introduced him to the surrounding audience.

"This is Lin Yifeng, the owner of our Shancheng Famous Newspaper, Comrade Lin."

Lin Yifeng smiled and waved to everyone.

He also saw many new faces in the crowd.

It seems that while he was away, Mingsheng Newspaper recruited quite a few new people.

"Quickly, quickly, pour tea for Comrade Xiao Lin."

Liu Shengxing took a chair from the person next to him and handed it to Lin Yifeng, also taking out a cigarette from his pocket and offering it to him.

Lin Yifeng waved his hand, looking at the curious expressions of the newlyweds below, and spoke with a smile.

"I just happened to be passing through Shanyang City, so I thought I'd drop by and see you all."

Liu Shengxing couldn't stop smiling.

Ever since Lin Yifeng invested in their newspaper, their newspaper has been thriving.

The results of the first week were beyond their wildest imagination; they never imagined that the Mountain City Life Daily would have so many supporters here.

After connecting with the government in the second week, it further solidified its reliable reputation among the public.

Now, wherever they go, people ask, "Are you a reporter from Minsheng Daily?" and then offer them water and cigarettes, making them feel incredibly flattered.

"You guys go ahead and get busy, you guys go ahead and get busy."

Lin Yifeng gestured for everyone to continue with their work, and then pulled up a chair to sit at Liu Shengxing's table.

After everyone got busy, Lin Yifeng got straight to the point.

He lowered his voice and gave Liu Shengxing instructions.

How many people can the newspaper allocate now?

Liu Shengxing was slightly taken aback and pondered for a moment.

"Currently, excluding those who do typesetting, there are about 30 people in the entire newspaper who are available to work."

"What, do you have any orders?"

Lin Yifeng was still a little shocked by the reply.

When he first came to the newspaper, there were only about a dozen people in the entire newspaper.

In just half a month, Liu Shengxing successfully expanded his recruitment to more than 30 people.

However, Lin Yifeng had already heard about this matter.

Guo Fengsheng had mentioned to him that Liu Shengxing planned to bring back former employees who had left the newspaper and have them come back to help out.

We'll discuss their salaries with Lin Yifeng once the newspaper is truly up and running.

Lin Yifeng hadn't paid much attention to this matter at first, but he didn't expect Liu Shengxing to recruit so many people.

To put it simply, a large newspaper in Makino City has about 20 employees.

The current stance of the Minsheng Daily clearly indicates that it is targeting major newspapers.

Even if there are 30 people, judging from the current state of the reputation report, it seems that there are still not enough people.

"Okay, can you spare ten people to do some work, Lao Liu?"

Lin Yifeng took a sip of tea and observed Liu Shengxing's reaction.

Liu Shengxing looked troubled, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"Ten people are fine, but the others will have a heavier workload. Comrade Lin, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yifeng smiled slightly and began to explain.

"Okay, you pick ten people for me."

“Send three people with a good news sense to Shuiyun Town. I’ll reimburse all their expenses.”

"The remaining seven, come back to Makino City with me, let them run newsstands."

Liu Shengxing's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe what he had just heard.

"Kobayashi, are you preparing to march into Makino?"

Lin Yifeng nodded.

This was already part of his plan.

As long as the Minsheng Daily can establish a good reputation in Shanyang City, he will encourage it to expand to Muye City and strive to win over the newspaper markets in both areas.

Once we've established ourselves in both cities next year, we can gradually move towards our goal of becoming a provincial newspaper.

However, Lin Yifeng did not expect that Liu Shengxing and his team would only spend two weeks in the first phase, and the results would far exceed his expectations.

"Xiaolin, I feel this is still a bit too early."

"Let's make the first month of work in Shanyang City a success."
