"Kobayashi-kun's strategy for launching the magazine has been finalized. The details are as follows..."
Gao Qiaohao spoke clearly and logically about the principles of layout design, key promotion directions, and especially the absolute core position of serialized supplementary novels.
The glow on Chen Hong's face gradually froze.
He stared intently at the stunning layout design on the sample, his sharp eyes moving between the various pages.
In the end, it was like being sucked by a magnet and nailed to the title and opening text that occupied a prominent position in "A Step into the Past".
The only sound left in the office was the rustling of his fingers across the samples of high-quality coated paper.
Time passes by...every second.
Chen Hong's breathing became heavier and heavier.
Gao Qiaohao sat opposite, waiting quietly without saying a word.
Chen Hong's mind went blank, and was then overwhelmed by surging thoughts!
His several plans that he painstakingly crafted and considered to be brilliant ideas - "Street Puzzle Interactive Lucky Draw!"
》《Famous Experts’ Spicy Commentary Column: Hong Kong Island Today》《Buy a newspaper and win a chance to win gold!
》——These "new gadgets" that he was proud of, now looked like a pile of carefully built sand castles in front of this heavy sample, collapsing in an instant before a real tsunami, revealing their fragile, childish and even ridiculous nature!
This pattern!
Directly use a novel that has never been seen or heard of before as the core trump card for the opening of the newspaper!
What courage!
Dare to challenge the models of all mature newspapers in Hong Kong!
What a creative idea!
Accurately predicts readers' most primitive curiosity and desire for intense reading pleasure!
Chen Hong felt an indescribable and complete shock!
It's like standing at the foot of Mount Tai and looking up at the top.
Then, an intense feeling of shame surged up like a tide, instantly drowning all his pride.
He still wants to perform?
If he really showed off the "good ideas" he had prepared, it would be like showing off one's skills in front of an expert, which would only make people laugh!
All his previous ambitions were crushed in the face of this overwhelming layout.
Chen Hong slowly raised his head and looked at Gao Qiaohao.
His eyes were filled with a mixture of great shock, unconcealable shame, and... a hint of fanaticism and sudden enlightenment, like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline.
"President Gao Qiao..."
His throat was dry and tight, and his voice trembled slightly.
"I'm convinced... I'm really convinced... Xiaolinsheng... is truly... unfathomable..."
Silently, with an almost pious respect, he picked up the plans on the table that he had worked so hard on, stood up, opened the bottom drawer of his desk, stuffed them heavily in, and then closed it with a "click".
The sound of the drawer closing was like a heavy pause for his past arrogance.
At this moment, there was only one thought burning in his mind: Keep up!
You must try your best and concentrate fully to keep up with this boss!
All the noise in the editorial office of Asia Daily is just a symphony under the same goal of the first issue.
However, in this symphony, the accelerated heartbeats of Lao Liu and Chen Hong originated from different movements, and eventually converged into admiration and worship for Kobayashi Tenmo, the real boss behind the Asia Times.
…
Tick-tock...tick-tock...
The hands of the old-fashioned wall clock finally reached ten o'clock in the morning with a sense of fate.
The streets of Hong Kong Island seemed to have been lit with a fuse.
Countless newsstand owners almost simultaneously lifted the dust-proof tarpaulins covering the bundles of newspapers with a "rustling" sound.
The eye-catching red masthead of Asia Daily ignited the enthusiasm of the entire city like a beacon!
“Asia Daily!
The inaugural issue is out now!
“Kobayashi Tenbo New Report!
Watch "A Step into the Past"! It's a stunning debut!
"Hurry up! You're not slow!
Xiaolinsheng's new newspaper! "
The hoarse throats and throbbing shouts of the newspaper vendors exploded like thunder in Central, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui... and every busy street!
The crowds, like a torrent attracted by a magnet, instantly formed long queues in front of the newsstands.
There were passersby out of pure curiosity, competitors waiting to see which way the tide would blow, popular fiction enthusiasts taking action, and countless others speculating about the next move of this business genius, "Kobayashi Tenbo"...
The long queue spread out madly, one, two, stacks, stacks, bundles, and boxes!
The brand new Asia Daily quickly disappeared from newsstands and among the crowds as if the tide was receding.
In the temporary office on the top floor of Asia Daily, the black telephone seemed to be possessed and kept ringing.
Every time the bell rang sharply, it was accompanied by an excited scream from the front line: "Hey! Gao Qiaosheng!
Sold out in Mong Kok!
Totally sold out!
Not a single one left!"
"Hello? From the club?
There's a line in Central that's several blocks long! 100,000 copies? They'll probably devour even 110,000!
Now it’s all light!
Urgently waiting for restocking!"
"Causeway Bay! Urgent! Ten thousand more copies! Immediately! Right now!"
Readers are scrambling for it!"
Gao Qiaohao was holding a piece of express mail that had just been compiled. His palms were so sweaty that the paper was a little wet.
He suppressed his pounding heart, feeling both incredible excitement and a faint sense of worry.
He rushed into Lin Huowang's temporary office, which faced the street and overlooked part of the bustling street scene.
