Chapter 252: Paving the way for a market share



Student Xiaobai has been looking at Feng the shopkeeper with a very inexplicable look these days.

Feng the shopkeeper always feels creepy. She turns her head to look at Xiaobai's face. She always feels that this little brat seems to be thinking about something weird.

That look... I don't know if it's Feng Qing's illusion. She always feels that it seems to be filled with a sense of emptiness, thinking, and a strange contempt?

Moreover, he often finds a small corner, lies there, supports his chin with both hands, and looks at it all day.

Today's Xiaobai is still staring at her with this look.

"Bad kid, bad kid..."

When Li Qi passed by Chu Changzui today, he suddenly heard a ghostly voice. He shuddered, then turned his head and saw Chu Changzui's empty eyes.

He waved his hand in front of Chu Changzui's eyes twice, and found that he still had no expression. He began to wonder if this man had lost his mind and whether he should just throw him out.

The sales of "Six Mountains Rivers and Lakes" were not as popular as Feng Qing had imagined.

First, Feng Qing's typewriter skills were limited after all, and second, Feng Qing had no way to sell the newspaper to such a wide area.

After all, she was just an ordinary inn owner.

And "Six Mountains Rivers and Lakes" did not sell as well as Feng Qing had thought at first, which was somewhat contrary to Feng Qing's idea.

"Tsk, I originally planned to use these seemingly stupid things to attract the attention of other people in the world, and the group of guys from the Black Five Mountains, but now it seems that it won't work." Feng Qing thought with a little disappointment.

Now the first step has already failed.

——The premise for attracting the attention of the people in the martial arts world and causing a certain amount of chaos in a short period of time is that this newspaper can sell like crazy.

However, considering the content that is like cerebral thrombosis of Feng Qing’s friend, it is indeed a bit too difficult.

Did she relax her vigilance a little after successfully tricking someone last time? Feng Qing thought.

Sure enough, she is the kind of person who is particularly easy to be deceived.

She is a little too naive.

Feng Qing sighed and thought that it seems that tricking Wu Yue’s gang is not as simple as she thought.

Last time, she relied on Hua Jing’s ability to enter and leave the court at will, and had some information in her hands to successfully trick people.

This time, they had less news from Wu Yue, so it was unlikely to be as easy as last time.

She was too reckless.

Sure enough, it's not that easy to get by in the underworld.

So what should we do now? Should we think of other ways? For example, install an electrified anti-theft net around the inn? Although she was shocked when she saw the price last time, it would be necessary to install one when the time comes.

Feng Qing sighed slightly and put the matter aside for the time being. After all, at present, apart from the matter of dealing with Wu Yue, she couldn't care too much about other things.

She turned around and put the matter behind her.

Except for distributing newspapers three times a week as usual, Feng Qing didn't care about other things.

This newspaper was like a child who was abandoned as soon as it was born. Apart from the stable financial income it brought to the inn at the beginning, it no longer had any sense of existence.

However, there are always exceptions.

...Originally, this newspaper could have ended here.

Just like the countless hobbies that Feng Qing had given up, there was only a beginning but no end.

However, under this situation, there was one person who did not give up on this abandoned child at all.

She was like a nanny, fulfilling her duties and responsibilities for this newspaper.

She even began to ignite her long-lost fighting spirit, and she wanted to pay attention to the situation of this newspaper every day at the frequency of three meals a day.

——And this touching person is Feng Qing's friend.

Speaking of this, it is Feng Qing's fault.

Ever since Feng Qing's mindless flattery that day, Feng Qing's friend has really felt like a star sent from heaven.

Now she writes a lot of things every day, and even does a good job of it.

Moreover, the royalties Feng Qing gives her (small gifts bought casually in ancient times) have always been very stable, so she simply brought a few of her friends to write with her.

Compared with her, these friends of hers cannot be said to be sleeping dragons and phoenixes, but at least they can be considered equal.

These few people supported the entire newspaper, allowing this "Six Mountains Rivers and Lakes" to survive even though Feng Qing didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, after a period of time, this newspaper achieved an amazing achievement.

It really didn't sell well, and it didn't reach the level of a popular newspaper in the martial arts world. It even barely touched the edge of being popular.

However, nothing can stand comparison.

-- It just successfully killed the original, the boring "Wuyue Jianghu".

...

These days, there are many cases of copycats killing the original. After all, there are many poor people these days, and everyone is more cost-conscious. And if the original is too poor, it will be easier to kill it.

"Wuyue Jianghu" is such a newspaper with too poor quality.

Wuyue was originally a sect that was not very powerful in terms of publicity channels. Now the most powerful publicity channels in the martial arts world have basically been occupied by Yishi and several other old sects. They acted a little too late.

For them, this newspaper is just a task assigned by their superiors. In the absence of a way to seize the market, they just complete their daily tasks and publish some content on time.

More than 90% of the people who buy this newspaper on time are actually people from the Five Mountains Sect.

So, in a way, "Five Mountains Rivers and Lakes" can be regarded as a "small people's self-entertainment" type of newspaper.

There are even many people who just buy this newspaper casually, and then turn around and throw it aside without even reading it.

Feng Qing knows nothing about these things.

If more people read this newspaper, they would find that the "Five Mountains Rivers and Lakes" in their hands had been replaced by "Six Mountains Rivers and Lakes" without them noticing.

"Six Mountains Rivers and Lakes" successfully took away the market share of "Five Mountains Rivers and Lakes", and because neither of them was a big seller, it survived for a long time in this strange way.

Until a month later, few people noticed this.

And Feng Qing had just installed her own electrified wire mesh.

As soon as the power was turned on, Feng Qing watched helplessly as some of the birds that usually roosted nearby flew down with smoke coming out of their mouths, which made her feel distressed.

"It's over, it's over." Feng Qing thought sadly.

"Isn't this destroying the environment for no reason? This thing can't be turned on too often. What should I do? Should I keep an eye on the surveillance camera at all times?"

She hasn't heard any news from Wu Yue during this period of time. This feeling is like being executed. As time goes by, the mood of the person being executed gradually becomes panic.

It's like waiting for the boots to drop. The longer it doesn't drop, the more nervous people become.

Feng Qing has been staying up late every day when she is nervous recently. When she stays up late, she plays games every night, which makes her look like a fairy.

Her colleagues all thought that she had done something big recently, and Li Qi made a lot of supplements every day.

"Now only these foods can soothe my heart." Feng Qing thought while stirring her Tremella fuciformis porridge with a spoon.

Her friend hasn't been video chatting with her much recently, and when they do, she looks very busy. Feng Qing looked at her friend and said, "What are you doing? Are you so busy? Can you just look at me every day?"

"Why are you looking at me? You are such a troublemaker. I am busy with my career." Feng Qing's friend said.

"What career do you have? Aren't you squeezed by your boss every day?" Feng Qing said.

"Isn't it the manuscript you told me about last time? I think your reading volume has increased a lot recently!"

"Really?" Feng Qing reached into the thick pile of materials in the bookcase and touched it. She didn't know that this was an intelligence cabinet before, and she just read the intelligence inside as a picture book. Now she understands it clearly, but there is too much information inside, and she can't read it at all.

After searching for a long time, she finally found the recent business situation of Liuyue Jianghu, and was slightly surprised.

"Oh, it's really good. It has been bought by several bookstores, and they are even ready to accept submissions."

The financial report shows that Liuyue Jianghu not only did not lose money, but also made a small profit without anyone watching, and slowly began to get on the right track.

It is not difficult to achieve the status of being famous in the world that Feng Qing once thought of. It is estimated that it will take another... ten years to run it seriously? Feng Qing thought about it, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

Well, ten years later, if she was chopped to death by the people of Wuyue, then the grass on her grave should be two meters high.

"But what about accepting submissions?" Feng Qing asked, "I don't remember that we have this business."

"That time, I posted a contact number at the end of the article, saying that we can accept submissions, and those who are interested can contact me, and then someone sent me a message." Feng Qing's friend said. "

And it was still using the ancient way of letters, which was quite formal, and made me a little embarrassed."

Feng Qing understood what was going on as soon as she heard it.

There are various ways of contacting people in ancient and modern times, and they are not very controllable.

Feng Qing saw that her friend didn't think there was anything wrong with those letters, so she didn't say anything.

Anyway, the people who can write letters to her friend to submit their articles are just people with the same mental problems as her.

Feng Qing didn't ask any more questions and went to play games. She didn't know that her friend picked up a letter at hand, glanced at the sender, and then suddenly laughed.

"Yu Tongtian of Huashan Sect... Good man, this is a die-hard martial arts fan, and he even came up with such a strange name."

"But is the Five Mountains very popular recently? Why do so many people use the Five Mountains as their pen names?"
