Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 213 Reader Body
Subtitle of this chapter: Chicken soup for the soul is the best!
Mr. George Baker nodded and said , "That's right, Neo. It's not difficult to acquire shares of this company. You know, it was originally invested and founded by Westinghouse Electric, and it hasn't started broadcasting yet. So I just need to say hello to Mr. Rockefeller Jr."
"As for the patent issue..."
Our Master Yuan immediately volunteered: "Mr. Baker, let me go talk to Mr. Edison."
"Well then..." Old Mr. Baker was about to agree when he immediately realized a problem: if this little guy provokes Thomas again, it might really cause big news.
So he immediately changed his tone and said, "Forget it. I heard that you are still writing your doctoral thesis. I will let Louis talk to them. He should also try to be independent. I believe Thomas is still a reasonable person."
Nonsense, because there was a rumor that he was seriously ill and could not be cured, and the stocks of Edison's companies and laboratories had plummeted, of course he would be "reasonable".
He continued, “So, I think we’ll be ready by the end of this year. January next year… January 1 is the best time to premiere. Neo. You really need to think about how to run NYPR now.”
Hey, do you need to think about setting up a radio station? I haven't eaten that kind of meat, but I haven't seen that kind of thing run?
The Chinese youth of these generations have experienced an era of rapid technological and economic development. The 1970s generation still relied on radio and children's magazines to relieve boredom, while the 1980s generation already had televisions and video halls. For the 1990s generation, VCDs and red and white video machines are not uncommon. When they were young, they all used last generation game consoles and computers of unknown brands. The 2000s generation is even more out of the question.
However, Yuan Yanshu had joined the school radio station in college, so he had some understanding of this. In fact, even if he had not had this experience, would modern people a hundred years later still be stumped by the topic of radio programs?
So he patted his chest and said confidently: "Mr. Baker, you can trust me. If NYPR doesn't become popular after it goes on the air, I will go to the First National Bank of New York to work for three years after graduation!"
"Hahaha, I admire you like this. Well, I can't wait to learn Mahjong Shadowbo's sex skills..."
"Mr. Baker, Mahjong Shadow Fist only has three moves..."
"Mr. Baker, when you touch the cards, straighten your back and use your shoulders to move your entire arm in a circle... That's right, that's it."
"Mr. Baker, when playing cards, you need to use your wrist to shake the cards out... Great, you really have a talent."
"Mr. Baker, when you win a game, you need to use both hands to exert force, sink your energy into your dantian and shout 'HU'!... Oh my, this is 'HUI GEN'! Mr. Baker, your 'HUI GEN' is really too high."
So, Yuan Yanshu dragged Mr. Chandler and Dr. Wen to play Mahjong with him for the whole morning. Of course, he also taught him the "Mahjong Shadow Fist".
They left Mr. Baker's mansion at lunch time and went to the northeast corner of Brooklyn as their second stop. Miss Helen Brown and Mr. Ai Shouyi were already waiting for Master Yuan there.
"You two, I'm sorry to be late... Helen, you found a good place. It's quiet, convenient, and not far from the printing factory. And this two-story building is more than enough to accommodate your two magazines. The spare room can be used as a dormitory and warehouse. Very good. As for the rent... forget it, we can definitely earn it back!"
"Neo, the rent is a bit expensive, but it's worth it. My father recommended this place to me."
"Well, Helen, please thank your father for me. You must visit Mr. Brown when you have time. Or... bring him to our 144 Club to play mahjong some other day."
"Neo, that's a great idea!"
"Alright. Arcana, now we have to get down to business."
Master Yuan said sternly, "Your Excellency Justice, please listen in. Your Majesty the Queen, Your Excellency the Magician. The two of you are currently carrying out the most important work of our SCP Foundation..."
"Our enemy is this boring world. To fight boredom, we naturally have to create Influxting..."
"Mr. Magician, now you have my A Song of Ice and Fire and Creation of Gods, plus your own novels... Of course, you can also ask your friends to contribute, so your Qi Ma Magazine will not be a problem. I hope that this magazine can be sold before Christmas, the sooner the better. Is there a problem with this?"
He also wants to make a lot of B-coins from this book.
Lord Aishouyi also replied confidently: "Lord Fool, it's absolutely no problem."
"Very good." Yuan Yan turned her head and looked at the somewhat anxious Miss Brown and said, "Your Majesty, I know you are a little anxious. After "Chocolat", the sales of your magazine must have dropped significantly. But please be patient. For your "Women of the World", I, a fool, have some good ideas..."
Miss Brown was delighted when she heard this and asked anxiously, "That's great. Please tell me quickly!"
Master Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. First of all, you have to think clearly about the positioning of Women of the World, that is, who are you going to sell this magazine to."
Helen tilted her cute little head, frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, “Master Fool, isn’t it sold to literature lovers like me?”
Listen, this is why young men and women with literary tastes have no future and no money. They take their own tastes as the tastes of the general public, so of course the things they write and the magazines they edit will fail.
In Yuan Yanshu's idea, Women of the World should completely copy the route and style of Reader's Digest in its initial stage. This is a magazine that has been proven by history to be a great success, so what kind of time traveler would he be if he didn't use it?
As for why Reader's Digest is popular among people all over the world?
Consider the title of the first article in the first issue of Reader’s Digest, published on February 5, 1922: “How to Stay Spiritually Young.”
What do you think? Doesn’t it give you a sense of the inspirational messages that Yuan Yanshu’s parents’ generation posted on their WeChat Moments?
Anyway, the hugely successful "novel" magazine didn't come out until 1922. So Her Majesty was lucky enough to catch up.
