We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#79 - The rising newspaper
Emerging from Yang Chaoye's office, Su Cheng didn't immediately leave the Su Corporation building. Instead, he went to the third floor.
Originally, due to its small size, the Righteousness Literature Media Limited Company's office was only about 80 square meters.
Now, as its scale has grown, the entire office area has expanded to 200 square meters.
The number of employees in the office is no longer just over a dozen, but has reached more than fifty.
Whether it was the editorial department, the investment promotion department, or the printing department, they all expanded their recruitment.
Su Cheng walked into the office, and the people inside immediately recognized him, saying one after another, "Hello, Boss."
The current Su Cheng is a celebrity in Hong Kong. As employees of his company, even if they haven't seen Su Cheng in person, they have seen his photos in newspapers and on television.
Su Cheng nodded and looked around the office. At this time, Righteousness Literature Media Company had been divided into two offices, an administrative office and a regular employee office.
However, there was a passage between the two offices, and the two offices were interconnected.
"Boss, you're here! Please come in quickly." Seeing Su Cheng, Chief Editor Wang and General Manager Li immediately stood up from their respective positions to greet Su Cheng.
"I'm just here to take a look," Su Cheng said with a smile.
He did provide a novel for this place, so he had to understand how the current business situation was.
Speaking of which, Hutchison Whampoa has a Hutchison Publishing House with a decent scale, mainly publishing English novels from Europe and the United States. Its strength in Hong Kong is also considered acceptable. The two can cooperate with each other, and it would be better if they were responsible for publishing books.
Both sides are his own, the palm of his hand is flesh, and the back of his hand is also flesh. He can't just take care of the Su Corporation side.
Of course, the two sides can also develop and compete with each other. There is progress only with competition. Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain. Healthy competition will instead make their progress faster.
Anyway, Xiao Ai has a lot of literary works there. When more advanced computers are developed, Xiao Ai can upload them herself, so Su Cheng doesn't have to worry about anything. Hutchison Publishing House is responsible for English novels, and Righteousness Company is responsible for Chinese novels. That's also possible.
However, there's no need to think too much about this matter for the time being. The new computer is still nowhere to be seen. The current efficiency is too low, and he's too lazy to do it.
"Boss probably doesn't know me yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Shuai, and I am the general manager of Righteousness Literature Media Limited Company," the middle-aged man in a suit next to Chief Editor Wang introduced himself.
As the name suggests, although Li Shuai is in his forties, he is indeed a bit handsome.
"Well, I'll leave the company to you. Work hard to obtain more profits for the group. The company will not treat you unfairly," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, I'll report to you on the recent situation of Righteousness Literature Media Limited Company." After Su Cheng sat down on a chair, General Manager Li continued.
"Okay, you speak, I'm listening," Su Cheng nodded.
"Since you, Boss, gave our company the novel 'A Step into the Past', we followed your advice and initially distributed it for free for 7 days. On average, we only distributed 100,000 copies per day. As expected, it was very popular. Later, some readers even lined up at some newsstands very early in order to get the newspaper, resulting in the daily free newspapers being distributed throughout Hong Kong in less than two or three hours.
On the first day of restoring the fee, we originally thought that many readers would give up buying it, but we didn't expect it to still be very popular. The highest number of copies sold even reached 230,000. For nearly half a month, it ranked first in sales of all newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong. If it weren't for a few days of breaking news, such as the Wharf shareholder battle, the Hutchison Whampoa acquisition case, and you, Boss, taking over Hutchison Whampoa as the taipan, etc., which led to a surge in sales of the Oriental Daily newspaper, perhaps we could have been number one for even more days.
Driven by the novel 'A Step into the Past', we solicited short literary manuscripts from all over Hong Kong. After screening, we put some excellent works into the 'Righteousness Literature Monthly'. It has been on the market for ten days, and now sales have even reached more than 50,000 copies.
Now, our Righteousness Literature Media Company not only has the 'Righteousness Literature Newspaper', but also added the 'Righteousness Sports Newspaper', the 'Righteousness Horse Racing Newspaper', the 'Righteousness News Morning Post', the 'Righteousness Entertainment Newspaper', and the 'Righteousness Literature Monthly', etc. Driven by the 'Righteousness Literature Newspaper', the sales of other newspapers can also reach 5,000 to 30,000 copies per day. Now, our company's daily advertising revenue has grown to about 150,000 Hong Kong dollars a day, making it the subsidiary with the fastest profit growth for the group."
While Li Shuai reported to Su Cheng, he was also full of pride. Of course, he also knew that without the boss's novel, such a scene would not exist at all.
The 10,000-word daily serialization of 'A Step into the Past' has now become more and more famous. Even Jin Yong, Gu Long, and other martial arts masters have published book reviews for 'A Step into the Past', which has made its popularity even hotter.
Nowadays, there is a popular thing among Hong Kong readers, that is, to collect the 'Righteousness Literature Newspaper' issued since June 1st, especially the limited edition free newspapers. It is said that they have now risen to 10 Hong Kong dollars a copy. It is conceivable how popular 'A Step into the Past' is.
One month, serialized 300,000 words, who else?
In Hong Kong, you can't find it!
Even its reputation has begun to spread to Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, and other places.
As for the boss writing another good work for them? They wouldn't dare think about it. Su Cheng won't say it for the time being, so as not to make them lose the motivation to work hard.
"By the way, Boss, we plan to publish the complete version of 'A Step into the Past' when there are about 100,000 words left to complete, so our book sales should be even more," General Manager Li thought for a while and said again.
The total number of words in 'A Step into the Past' is about 1.5 million, which means that a daily serialization of 10,000 words can be serialized for five months. A lot can be done in these five months.
Moreover, before the serialization is completed, selling the complete version of 'A Step into the Past' will definitely make many people buy the published novel 'A Step into the Past' in order to see all the subsequent content faster.
"That's a pretty good strategy. Also, I'll give you a suggestion. If you find some particularly excellent works in your solicitation, you can reduce the number of words serialized for 'A Step into the Past' in the 'Righteousness Literature Newspaper' and then put the new works on for serialization. This can increase the exposure of the new works," Su Cheng said with a smile. In his later life, he had seen many similar operations.
"We have also prepared these strategies mentioned by the boss. In the later stage, the number of words serialized for 'A Step into the Past' will be reduced to 5,000 words per day, so that the serialization time of 'A Step into the Past' can not only be extended, but also allow other works to develop," Li Shuai looked at Su Cheng with admiration. He didn't expect the boss to have so many development strategies.
