On the same day, New World Daily distributed 100,000 copies of newspapers in Xiangjiang City for free, covering almost all the lively blocks in Xiangjiang City.
As a result, the sales volume of all paid newspapers fell by varying degrees on the same day.
Other than Ming Pao, which had its own characteristics and was targeted at white-collar workers and cultural elites, the other newspapers were definitely more affected.
Tabloids, or rather, newspapers with no special characteristics, could not sell.
There was only so much news for a day.
A hot topic, a matter that was repeatedly reported.
Since I can read the news I want in the free newspaper, why should I spend money to buy your paid newspaper…
As for the two mainstream newspapers like 'Oriental' and 'Star Island,' although they were slightly affected, it did not matter if they lost a few thousand copies to their daily sales of 70,000 to 100,000 copies.
It was precisely because of their mentality that they did not attract attention.
It provided an opportunity for the development of New World Daily.
With Jiang Feng's injection of 50,000,000 yuan, the New World News Agency began to expand. First, they poached more than 20 editors from newspapers such as "Star Island","Economics News","Nanhua Morning Post", and "Oriental" with high salaries.
At the same time, he had signed long-term cooperation with some famous authors in Xiangjiang.
In this era where the internet was still underdeveloped, novels were the most important spiritual food other than movies and television dramas.
The reason why Ming Pao could become an aloof newspaper in Xiangjiang City despite being suppressed by Dongfang and Star Island for a long time was because of its novel.
And the boss behind Ming Pao was Master Jin.
Hero Jin had a very high status in the literary circle of Xiangjiang City. Only Liang Sheng and Ni Kuang, who wrote sci-fi, could compete with him.
Although Hero Jin had stopped writing for many years, he still had a high status here. Countless novelists and literary creators regarded Ming Pao as a sacred place in their hearts.
Therefore, many people wanted to write in Ming Pao despite the low remuneration, hoping to get some advice from Master Jin.
Now, the situation had changed.
The big black horse, New World Daily, was willing to recruit authors at a price of 30 Hong Kong dollars per 1,000 words.
This price was much higher than Ming Pao's, so it attracted many authors who were short of money.
In the next few days, the public found that the New World Daily had revised its version.
Apart from the original news, entertainment, and economy sections, there was also a new novel section…
After reading the novels on it carefully, he found that they were quite interesting. He then looked at the authors and found that they were all well-known authors in the novel industry of Xiangjiang City.
However, the author of "Shattering the Void," Huang Yi, was the one who fascinated them the most. His writing style was experienced, and he portrayed the martial arts scene at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was open-minded and had the charm of a master.
Other than these works, some old novels were also being published in serials. For people who had never read them before, they were quite attractive.
This was much more interesting than watching the news.
From the beginning, the boss had been shouting and delivering newspapers.
Towards the end, there was no need for the boss to shout at him. Every day, there was an endless stream of people who came to ask the boss for the newspaper. Some even took the initiative to line up…
Meanwhile, the bosses of the various newspapers also reported the sales situation of the newspapers to the newspaper office, and the newspaper office also reported the actual situation to Jiang Feng.
After learning that 100,000 copies of newspapers were given out for free every day, he increased the number to 120,000 copies.
At the same time, in order to prevent one person from receiving more than one copy or someone deliberately hoarding the newspaper, Jiang Feng asked the newspaper office to send people to the ferry port, bus station, and subway station to deliver the newspaper every day.
Let as many people as possible receive the newspaper.
The news of the free newspaper delivery for five to six consecutive days had already reached the ears of his peers.
After reading the data published by New World Daily, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper forum was speechless.
The daily sales of 100,000 copies had already surpassed Ming Pao and successfully squeezed into third place.
It was only 5000 copies away from the Star Island News, and less than 20,000 copies away from the Oriental News…
After seeing this data.
The Xiangjiang newspaper industry became nervous and paid close attention to everything about New World Daily.
As the newspapers were competitors of the New World Daily, they would not publish any content related to the New World Daily.
However, those small newspapers, magazines, and weekly magazines.
In order to survive, they had to pursue hot news.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and reported.
"Shocking! The miracle of Xiangjiang's newspaper industry. The daily sales of third-rate tabloids broke 100,000 copies and successfully entered the top three!》
The New World Daily had been delivering 100,000 newspapers every day, losing 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a day…How long can it last?"
Ming Pao was pushed down from the top three!》
"The arrival of free newspapers, the structure of Xiangjiang's newspaper industry may undergo a major change!!
.......
Faced with the menacing New World Daily, the large newspapers were very vigilant and prepared.
Some small newspapers also wanted to follow the trend of New World Daily becoming the third-largest newspaper in Xiangjiang City.
In the end, after two days of doing it, the system could no longer continue…
Some went bankrupt, some went bankrupt…
Without the support of a powerful boss, getting a free newspaper was simply courting death.
For a moment, the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang City was in chaos.
