Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Time flies by like a white horse, and four days have passed in a flash.

Looking at the original manuscript of the novel "Looking for Qin Ji", Xia Yu felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although this novel is not his original, it is not easy to copy it out. The first three volumes have a total of about 190,000 words, and it takes four days to copy it, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

"It's time to submit!" Xia Yu muttered as he flipped through a stack of novel manuscripts.

Then, Xia Yu carefully packed the manuscript with his schoolbag, greeted his parents, and went out.

In the past four days, in addition to being busy with writing, Xia Yu has not wasted any free time, and has already considered the issue of submission.

For a novel, the most direct way to benefit is to publish it, but in the case of no name, it is very difficult to publish, and the royalties are very low.

Even if it is successfully published, the probability of hitting the street is very high.

After all, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!

Xia Yu is still self-aware, and will not think that he is a reborn person. When the tyrannical spirit disappears, the publishing house worships, the dealer kneels and licks, and the readers gather...

This is absolutely impossible!

Even if it depends on the quality of the work, word of mouth will gradually form after publication, and it will eventually become a hit, but Xia Yu has no time to wait! So direct publishing is not an option.

But fortunately, at this time in Xiangjiang, a popular newspaper serialized the novel, and it would be published when it became famous.

This model is not only beneficial to newspapers, helping them attract users; it is also beneficial to publishing houses, helping them select excellent works, reducing risks, and saving publicity costs; at the same time, it is also beneficial to authors, charging more money. It can be said that there are many benefits!

Therefore, Xia Yu also planned to follow this rule, submit articles to newspapers, and serialize them in newspapers.

Since it is planned to be serialized in the newspaper, the choice of the newspaper is particularly important.

In Hong Kong, there are not many other things, but newspapers are the most. Because the threshold for running a newspaper is low, as long as you have money, you can run a newspaper, so various newspapers emerge in an endless stream, and it is the area with the highest number of newspapers in the world.

Among them, the mainstream newspapers include "Oriental Daily", "Ming Pao", "Xinbao", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Sing Pao", "South China Morning Post" and so on.

Among them, "Oriental Daily" is a grass-roots newspaper, "Xinbao" is aimed at high-level intellectuals, and "Ming Pao" started at grass-roots, but relying on Jin Yong's sharp comments, it has been welcomed by intellectuals over the years. Sing Tao Daily targets the middle and lower classes, and South China Morning Post is the largest English-language newspaper in Hong Kong...

For Xia Yu, the English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post, was excluded first.

And because his purpose of writing novels is to make quick money, under this premise, the bigger the influence, the better, whether it is the treatment of his next book, or the subsequent publication and adaptation of "Xun Qin Ji", etc. It is more beneficial. Moreover, the audience of "Xun Qin Ji" is the grass-roots public, so newspapers that are not aimed at the public are also excluded.

Thinking of it this way, Ta Kung Pao, The Letter, and Sing Pao are also excluded.

Then only Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily are left.

At this time, the top three sales are "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao".

"Ming Pao" ranked third, with an average daily sales of around 130,000. Compared with the peak period, his position as the No. 1 in sales is somewhat lower. One reason is that Jin Yong has already closed his pen, and he lacks novels by martial arts masters comparable to Jin Yong. Although he has risen from the grassroots, Jin Yong has focused his energy on knowledge in recent years. In order to realize their political ambitions, some people ignore the grassroots, so the influence of the grassroots people in the past few years has been relatively weakened.

However, as long as Jin Yong comes out again, or there are works by master martial arts masters, the sales will definitely skyrocket.

And "Sing Tao Daily" is affiliated to Sing Tao Newspaper. It was founded by Hu Wenhu in 1938 and is now controlled by his daughter Hu Xian.

Hu Xian has also become the queen of the newspaper industry, and now the average daily sales of "Sing Tao Daily" has reached 160,000 copies. For decades, channels have spread throughout Southeast Asia.

The "Oriental Daily" is completely rooted in the grass-roots public. It was founded by the Ma family in 1969. Later, it claimed to have been the first in sales for 35 years, with a maximum of 530,000 copies, covering more than 3.4 million people.

"Oriental Daily" is the mouthpiece of the Ma family's self-protection and a tool for whitewashing. But it has to be said that they really did their best to run the newspaper, and they faced a large customer base, so now the sales volume is the highest, with an average daily sales volume of 170,000 copies in this era.

In addition to the sales factor, Xia Yu also considered the royalty factor.

Although the novel will get a lot of fame if it is published in Ming Pao, but Mr. Jin is famous in Xiangjiang for treating the author. Xia Yu doesn't give priority to fame now. What he needs is money, as much money as possible, so Xia Yu did not put Ming Pao in the first place.

The reason why the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" is so high is because the sales channels are wide and spread throughout Southeast Asia. In addition, the boss Hu Xian has the title of the queen of the newspaper industry and is notoriously strong. Xia Yu did not put "Sing Tao" Daily News first.

As for the "Oriental Daily", the Ma family has always wanted to develop the "Oriental Daily" better. In addition, it was established the latest and has the most insufficient background. The most important one is that the Ma family has a bad reputation. Writers are all literati, and most of the famous writers cherish feathers and disdain to be in the company of the Ma family, so the "Oriental Daily" is unsatisfactory in the reception of novels.

For this reason, Oriental Daily can only rely on money, hoping to attract more submissions to see if it can select better novels. Therefore, "Oriental Daily" gives the highest manuscript fee.

The "Oriental Daily" can provide such things as fame and fortune, and both have an advantage. Of course, Xia Yu will give priority to contributing to the "Oriental Daily".

After changing cars all the way, Xia Yu finally came to the door of the "Oriental Daily" building.

Looking up at the signboard of "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu showed a confident smile and strode inside.

Walking to the front desk, Xia Yu said to the receptionist, "Hello, I have written a novel and want to submit it. What is the process?"

The receptionist was stunned when he saw Xia Yu coming in. After all, Xia Yu was only a teenager. Hearing that Xia Yu was here to contribute again, he blinked his eyes and made sure he heard it right. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but smile. Pointing in one direction, he said, "Submit to those rooms, all of them."

"Okay, thank you!" Xia Yu said thank you and walked to the room pointed by the receptionist.

Looking at Xia Yu's back, the receptionist shook his head with a smile and said, "Money is still a good thing. The president released news and received the manuscript at a high price. For money, everyone submits manuscripts, and now even children are coming, I really think money It’s so easy to get. What kind of good novels can children write, hehe…”

Of course Xia Yu didn't hear the receptionist's contemptuous words. He had already arrived at the door of an office with the words 'Manuscript Reading Room' on the door of the office. From the outside, you can see a middle-aged man lowering his head to review the manuscript, and there are a lot of novel manuscripts on the table, like a hill.

After knocking on the door, the middle-aged man said impatiently, "The door is not locked, come in directly" without raising his head.

"Hello, I'm here to submit a manuscript!" Xia Yu didn't care about his tone, walked in, and took out a thick stack of novel manuscripts from his schoolbag.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally raised his head when he heard that someone had contributed, but after seeing Xia Yu, his face changed a bit, he scolded in a low voice, and then became even more impatient. wait for news. Then he lowered his head and continued to review the manuscript without looking at Xia Yu.

Seeing the contemptuous attitude of the middle-aged man, Xia Yu clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, feeling very unhappy. But he had to ask others, he could only endure it, put the manuscript on top of the pile of manuscripts, said thank you and went out.

After exiting the door of the "Oriental Daily", Xia Yu shook his head in a self-deprecating manner: "Although I was mentally prepared, it is still very uncomfortable."

Before coming, considering his age, Xia Yu analyzed that he might be looked down upon by others. After all, there is never a shortage of people in this world who judge people by their appearance. I didn't expect to meet such people.

"Forget it, anyway, it's over, let's go buy some notebooks, write as much as possible while waiting for the news, and then get some more money at one time." Xia Yu murmured, and then prepared to buy pens and books. Paper.

He hadn't considered the situation of failing to publish. After all, this is the work of a martial arts master, so how could it not be published?

It's a pity that things backfired, Xia Yu didn't take into account that in this world, after all, "the horses of a thousand miles are often found, but the horses are not often found".

After Xia Yu left, the middle-aged review editor picked up Xia Yu's novel draft, browsed it, and saw Xiang Shaolong traveled to the Qin Dynasty, he smiled disdainfully: "Learn from others to write before the hair grows. Novels, and Qin Chao, I don’t even know Qin Chao, what does a child know, and what kind of messy time travels and writes!”

The middle-aged review editor casually flipped through it a few times, sneered, and threw it aside, where it was the pile of unapproved manuscripts.

"There are still so many novels to review, most of them are rubbish, it's annoying to read, %*!" The middle-aged editor rubbed his eyes, looked at the pile of manuscripts on the desktop, scolded, and continued to review.
