Chapter 89 Li Sihai(1/2)
Chu Bao Newspaper Agency.
Zhang Guangsheng stood in front of the office window, listening to the sales figures reported by the people below, with a comfortable smile on his lips.
He has actually been very nervous and anxious these past two days, always worried about whether something might change.
You must know that the money spent these days is really like running water. These are all funds invested by Chu Mufeng.
If everything was in vain, I would really have no shame in meeting people!
Fortunately everything is going according to plan now!
"Limbering at the city gate is indeed the best publicity. In this way, we won't be afraid that no one will read Chu Bao!" Zhang Guangsheng looked at the bustling and noisy world outside the window, the corners of his lips slanted, and he was high-spirited.
Today, he can finally show off his ambitions.
…
Peking Police Department, Detective Division, Section 1.
Office of the Deputy Chief.
Chu Mufeng was already aware of the sensation caused by "Chu Bao", and it was difficult not to know about it.
Because he would hear news updates from the "Chu News" at any time, and every piece of news was so exciting that it aroused the interest of the police officers below.
He knew that Zhang Guangsheng's first step was to walk out.
This is a good start.
As long as he can calm down, implement his ideas step by step, and advance steadily, there is no doubt about the future of "Chu Bao".
Once you have a fixed readership group, the benefits will be extremely considerable. Making money is inevitable! The influence it will bring is also huge!
"Zhang Guangsheng, do your best and don't let me down!"
Putting down the newspaper still smelling like ink in his hand, Chu Mufeng nodded with satisfaction.
…
Blue and White Newspaper Branch.
This branch is located on a busy street in Huayu District. It has a dedicated storefront and is engaged in the business of selling newspapers. The person in charge is Li Tanfang.
At this time, Li Tanfang was sitting on the Taishi chair, with his legs crossed on the table, looking lazy, holding a plate of melon seeds in his hand, with melon seed peels scattered everywhere on the ground.
When I feel thirsty, I just pick up the teapot and take a few sips. I enjoy it very much.
"Brother Li, don't we really need to do something?"
"It's been three days, and the Chu Bao's momentum is really strong. If I don't think of a solution anymore, I won't be able to suppress it."
"Not many people buy our newspaper anymore."
Several people stood in front of the desk, talking with ugly faces and anxious moods.
They were really afraid that if things continued like this and the "Blue and White" newspaper wouldn't be able to sell even one copy, they would have to drink the northwest wind.
But why wasn’t Li Tanfang anxious?
Shouldn't this be urgent?
"Look at your cowardice. Isn't it just a small newspaper that has just been opened? Are you so nervous? It's not like a newspaper like this has never been opened before. What will happen in the end? It will still be defeated by us."
"Who is behind us? It's the Qinghua Hall. With the support of the entire Qinghua Hall, there's nothing to worry about!" Li said with a proud face.
"But Mr. Li, the "Chu News" is really aggressive. They don't seem to take money seriously at all. They just want to open up the situation. If this trend continues, if the situation is opened up, there will be a lot of money in the future."
Li's subordinate named Wu Liang stepped forward and said: "Actually, the sales volume of our "Blue and White" has dropped sharply in the past three days. Compared with "Chu News", our newspaper's layout and content are both lower.
I'm worried that if this continues, it will get even worse."
"Oops!"
Obviously dissatisfied with Wu Liang's statement, Visitor Li put down his legs and stood up. Without saying a word, he threw the plate of melon seeds over and pointed at his nose and scolded him unceremoniously.
"How can you, brat, gain the authority of others and destroy your own morale? If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out of my way!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Wu Liang didn't dare to say any more, so he quickly bowed his head and left.
"Listen to me, you guys. Don't worry about his "Chu News" and "Song News". How can a small newspaper have the qualifications to compete with us. You must keep calm. Let's let him be proud for two more days.
Then it will close down by itself.”
After that, Li Tanfang glanced at the audience and said with a look of disdain: "Don't you know who runs this "Chu News"? It is Zhang Guangsheng, who has heard about political affairs. Do you think that a newspaper like this that changes the soup without changing the medicine can be successful?
Can you play with us? After taking the reassurance, it will all be over."
"Yes, Master Li!"
Since Li Tanfang is so confident, his subordinates won't say anything else.
But is this really the case?
On the fourth day, the circulation of Chu Bao doubled.
On the fifth day, the sales of "Blue and White" dropped sharply by half.
On the seventh day, "Chu Bao" completely defeated "Blue and White" and owned three-quarters of the market share that "Blue and White" had previously occupied.
Everyone in the Qinghua Hall was shocked.
…
Beiping City, Xiaolou Hutong in the south of the city.
Everyone knows that the East and the West are rich and the West is wealthy, and the South and the North are poor and humble. However, no one with some status and ability wants to live in the North and South cities. They feel that they will lose their status.
Who wants to live in a place where gambling houses, kiosk and teahouses gather?
But there is only one exception.
He is Li Sihai who lives in Xiaolou Hutong.
When it comes to Li Sihai and Mr. Li, everyone knows about it.
He has great hands and eyes, and is rich and powerful. Everyone knows that Mr. Li is a man of letters and means what he says.
Talking will destroy the pit, spitting will nail it.
As long as it's what Mr. Li said, nothing can't be done.
At this moment, Li Sihai, wearing a silk and satin gown, was lying leisurely on a rocking chair in his patio, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
He is slightly stout, but not only does he not look fat, but he looks more majestic.
boom!
At this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly came from the originally gloomy sky, and with a click, the old pomegranate tree in the courtyard was severed from the middle.
Immediately afterwards, the broken branches began to slowly droop, and the sound they made was like countless small silkworms chewing mulberry leaves, which made people feel uncomfortable and awkward.
boom!
The broken tree trunk fell to the ground, but Li Sihai was still lying steadily, his face was as usual, and he just said softly: "Let him come in!"
"Yes, Master Li!"
The housekeeper Shen Mo next to him clapped his hands, and Li Tanfang, who had been waiting outside, trotted in. As soon as he entered, he knelt down with a thud and lowered his head in front of Li Sihai, with a look of begging on his face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Li, I was wrong!"
"you are wrong?"
Li Sihai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sky, which was gradually darkening. The dark gray clouds were accumulating a heavy downpour, as if it would fall at any time.
"Where did you go wrong?" Li Sihai asked with a half-smile after taking a sip of tea.
"My mistake was that I didn't suppress Chu News and let him steal our newspaper business." Li Tanfang said immediately.
"Suppression?"
A sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of Li Sihai's mouth. He slowly sat up from the recliner and looked down from a high position. Looking at Li Fangfang was like looking at a wild dog.
"You can also suppress "Chu Bao"?"
boom!
Li Sihai raised his leg and kicked him out hard. Li Fangwan was immediately kicked and rolled several times on the ground, but he didn't dare to moan. He endured the pain and quickly crawled back on his hands and feet.
"Master Li, please give me a chance. I will accept the punishment!"
"Visiting, how many years have you been following me?" Li Sihai took the white towel handed over by Shen Mo, wiped his hands, and asked casually.
"Replying to Mr. Li, it's been three years!" Li Tanfang replied quickly.
"It's been three years, why haven't you made any progress? You're still so ignorant of the rules, and you don't even know where you went wrong!"
"How many times have I told you that those who can open a newspaper office in these 49 cities are not ordinary people and must be taken seriously. You have just ignored me, right?" Li Sihai turned his neck and stretched his muscles.
"I...I..." Visitor Li lowered his head in fear.
"What are you? You don't even know how much you are carrying, and you still dare to think about suppressing "Chu News". What's the result? Because of your cleverness, "Chu News" is now very successful."
