"Young Master, so far, we've already bought three newspapers. There are still four that are in discussion. If everything went smoothly, these four families should be able to get their hands on them in the afternoon.”
"Continue collecting. Don't be afraid of spending money.”After hearing Lu Feng's report, Wang Tianyou said,""Now that we want to make a difference in Xiangjiang City, even if we can't control the fishing vessels completely, we must have a voice.”
"So, try your best to buy as many small newspapers as possible and then integrate them all into a big newspaper company. In this way, we will have our own voice in Xiangjiang.”
"Yes, Young Master is right. For example, today's matter, because we don't have our own voice, we're very passive.”
"But Young Master, I always feel that it's not very cost-effective for us to buy these small newspapers. Small news agencies like these didn't have any reputation or sales. Moreover, their operations were different, so it was very troublesome to integrate them.”
"If you ask me, let's just take in a few for the time being. If we want to enter the newspaper industry, we should think of a way to take over a big newspaper company. After all, not only is a big newspaper company famous and has high sales, but their operations in all aspects are also very mature. It doesn't take much effort for us to buy them.”
In Lu Feng's opinion, they were in the financial industry. Everything else was just a side job. As long as there was one, it was fine. It was not worth spending too much effort.
"We have to accept the big news agencies, but we can't let go of the small news agencies.”He understood what Lu Feng meant, but Wang Tianyou had his own ideas." We'll buy the big news agency. There's no need to make any changes. Just let them operate the way they used to."”
"As for the small news agencies, I've already thought it through. Not only will we accept them, but we'll also accept as many as possible. At that time, the small newspaper offices would be integrated into one newspaper, sharing resources. The newspaper offices would become branches, and the newspapers would be printed and distributed nearby.”
"This way, not only can we save a lot of interview fees, but we can also save a lot of newspaper delivery fees. If we reduce these two expenses and arrange the advertising expenses according to the sales volume, even if we turn this newspaper into a real free newspaper, I believe we won't lose money.”
Lu Feng's brain was quite good. Hearing Wang Tianyou's words, he immediately realized that if the free newspaper didn't lose money, then what newspaper in Xiangjiang dared to compete with the free newspaper in terms of sales?
This newspaper would definitely be the top newspaper in Xiangjiang City. If they had some more famous newspapers, they would be the newspaper kings of Xiangjiang City. By then, the fishing vessels in Xiangjiang City would be almost under their control.
Realizing this, Lu Feng was excited." Young Master, you're really thoughtful." Don't worry, I'll do my best.”
"Alright, as long as you know the importance of this matter.”Seeing that Lu Feng completely understood what he meant, Wang Tianyou said,
"Let's name this free newspaper as 'Headline'. Starting tomorrow, we'll officially start testing it out. We'll start with 500,000 copies first and see how the costs are in all aspects.”
The free newspaper was a proven product in the future, so Wang Tianyou wasn't worried about it at all.
However, he could only say this much. Due to the limitations of the times, no one would believe him if he said that free newspapers could make money. He could not be bothered to waste his breath.
500,000 copies of newspapers was nothing to Wang Tianyou. Therefore, Lu Feng didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and agreed," Young Master, I'll go and make arrangements. I'll try to calculate the various costs as soon as possible."”
"Don't be anxious." Hearing that Lu Feng was leaving, Wang Tianyou said,"Although newspapers have an important position in the fishing industry, in terms of credibility, there is still a big gap between them and television. So, I plan to acquire a television station. See if there's anything suitable.”
Although he had made up his mind to build a space-based network, the promotion of that thing could not be completed in a day or two. Therefore, Wang Tianyou felt that he had to set up a television station for the time being.
"Young Master, it won't be easy for you to acquire the television station.”When he heard that Wang Tianyou wanted to get his hands on the TV station, Lu Feng thought for a while and said,
"Now, there are only two free TV stations left in Xiangjiang City. They are a corrupt company and look down on Hong Kong locals the most. If they want to take over their business, they will only be able to do so if they encounter a major crisis and there is no competition.”
"As for the TV station, it's Shao Yifu's lifeblood. He has already shifted his focus to the TV station, so it's almost impossible for him to acquire it.”
"Then is there any other way, such as going to the Hong Kong government to apply for a new free license? You have to know that if we want to control the fishing vessels, a television station is essential. We have to get one.”
"It might be possible to apply from the Hong Kong government, but the conditions will definitely not be easy. One had to know that even though Jiayi TV Station had spent a lot of money on the free license, the government had added some additional content. In the end, Jiayi TV Station had closed down because of those additional content.”
"Yes, I know about Jiashi. The condition for his free license is to broadcast educational films during prime time.”Hearing Lu Feng's words, Wang Tianyou nodded and began to ponder.
Actually, although the conditions for showing educational films during prime time were harsh, Wang Tianyou could accept it.
After all, the television station was just a temporary product for him. Other than making it easier to control fishing vessels before the development of the Heaven's Pole Network, he also made it easier to find beautiful women. It didn't matter whether he made money or not.
Moreover, even if the educational film was broadcast during prime time, it did not mean that the television station would definitely lose money. In the later generations, there were many educational television stations and science education television stations. They broadcasted science education films all day long, but people still lived well.
Therefore, as long as the program was novel and the content was good, even if he set up an educational television station, he would not lose anything.
Thinking of this, Wang Tianyou said to Lu Feng,"Right now, our top priority is to control the television station and the fishing vessel. Therefore, we can still accept Jiashi's conditions.”
