Chapter 455 Jodie Foster is coming to Xiangjiang
At the headquarters of "Oriental Daily", Chen Zhibai was dealing with work matters in the office at this time.
"Tuk tuk tuk." There was a knock on the door.
"The door is not locked, come in." Chen Zhibai raised his head and said to the door.
The door was pushed open and Wang Zhigang, the Minister of Communications and Communications, came in.
"Mr. Chen, good news, we have a great chance of breaking our own sales record this time!" At this time, Wang Zhigang looked happy.
"Oh? Is there any news?" Chen Zhibai put down the report in his hand and asked with a smile.
Last night, after the news of Su City's acquisition of "Oriental Daily" was the headline news in today's newspaper, Chen Zhibai felt that there was a chance for a big sale.
After all, both Su City and the Ma family are the subjects of relatively hot discussion in Xiangjiang today.
Therefore, Chen Zhibai, as the new general manager of Oriental Daily, decided to increase the printing quantity of the latest issue of the newspaper to 600,000 copies.
Because, "Oriental Daily" had previously set a record, selling more than 530,000 copies in a single day!
Before the rise of "Chivalry Literature Journal", this record was almost unbreakable.
Since setting this record, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" has never exceeded this value.
So, Chen Zhibai felt that this was a good opportunity to break the record.
And now, it’s just noon, so it’s definitely not possible to collect complete sales data.
Therefore, he was also curious about why Wang Zhigang was so sure that this issue of "Oriental Daily" could break the previous record.
“According to feedback from multiple sales points, at least half of our sales points, "Oriental Daily" were sold out before noon. Basically, there is no problem in breaking the previous record. "Wang Zhigang said with a smile.
The company finished selling the 600,000 newspapers printed last night. I heard there was big news, so many sales outlets increased the number of copies.
As the internal and external liaison department, the Communications Department is the first to grasp this information.
“Oh, that’s really good news. It’s a pity that even if we sell out the 600,000 copies of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper, it will only break our own record, not the "Chivalrous Literature Journal" What a pity!" Chen Zhibai said with emotion.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Su Cheng has become our boss. I believe that our "Oriental Daily" will one day break the record of "Chivalry Literature Journal" sooner or later!" Wang Zhigang said with confidence.
Previously, the highest sales record of "Chivalry Literature Journal" was 690,000 copies, which almost exceeded 700,000 copies.
This record is indeed difficult to break.
However, the population of Xiangjiang is growing rapidly. The growth of population means that the demand is growing.
When Oriental Daily was first founded, the population of Xiangjiang was only 3.9 million.
Today, only 10 years have passed, and the population of Xiangjiang has reached 4.9 million.
In the past 10 years, although the population of Xiangjiang has not doubled as horribly, it has also increased by one million people.
This will naturally greatly increase the consumption power of Xiangjiang.
"I also believe that sooner or later we will be able to break through and regain our title of "Hong Kong's No. 1 Newspaper"!" Chen Zhibai's eyes were full of determination.
He has witnessed the journey of "Oriental Daily" from a humble company with only more than 10 employees to now the largest news newspaper in Hong Kong with thousands of employees.
Therefore, his feelings for "Oriental Daily" are very deep.
Over the years, in order to increase the sales of "Oriental Daily", he has tried every means.
Unfortunately, sometimes some strategies are directly passed by the Ma family. Now, "Oriental Daily" has been acquired by Su City, which means that the resources it controls should be the same as those of Chivalry Media Company's newspapers.
Under such circumstances, Chen Zhibai felt that in the field of news, the status of "Oriental Daily" was basically stable, and there was no longer the possibility of being surpassed by "Chivalrous News".
Sure enough, after another day passed, the sales number of the previous day also came out.
Not surprisingly, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" broke the previous record set by itself, with sales reaching 587,000 copies, becoming the sales champion of Hong Kong newspapers that day.
Although "Chivalry Literature Journal" has now firmly established itself as the number one newspaper in Hong Kong, its sales volume cannot reach more than 600,000 copies every day. Sometimes at low times, the sales volume is only forty or fifty. Ten thousand copies.
Despite this, this sales volume puts other newspapers in Hong Kong out of reach.
If "Oriental Daily" hadn't purchased too much stock at some sales points and not sold out, it is estimated that sales exceeding 600,000 would not be a problem.
Su Cheng's acquisition of "Oriental Daily" seems to have raised his status to another level in Hong Kong.
After all, the influence of "Oriental Daily" is far higher than that of many companies with a higher market value than it.
Time flies, and the days quickly pass by in dullness. A few more days come to January 12, 1979.
The news of Sioux City's acquisition of "Oriental Daily" was gradually forgotten by everyone in Xiangjiang.
Every day, different things happen, and it is impossible for everyone to focus on one thing all the time.
It is worth mentioning that the cellular mobile communication system built by Hutchison Telecommunications is becoming more and more complete, and the coverage area is getting larger and larger.
Su Cheng is sitting in the car with a Yunsheng S1 mobile phone. When the car is driving on the main road in Xiangjiang, you can find that the signal light on the mobile phone is often green.
This also means that the time for mobile phones to be officially released for commercial use is not far away.
According to the arrangement of Namei Entertainment Company, Jodie Foster will arrive in Xiangjiang on January 15th, which was also specially arranged by Suzhou City.
After all, before New Year's Day, Su City had promised Jodie Foster that she would come to Xiangjiang to hold a concert.
In name, it was to open up the Asian market, but in fact, of course, it was because Jodie Foster missed her lover in Sioux City.
Of course, this is also something that can be achieved by both.
Today, there are still three days before Jodie Foster comes to Xiangjiang. Perhaps because she is about to meet her lover, Jodie Foster has been calling Sioux City very frequently these days. , sometimes I can answer two or three calls from her a day.
On the phone, Jodie Foster always likes to ask, what are the fun things to do in Hong Kong? What are some delicious ones? How is it different from cities in beautiful countries?
“I haven’t seen this little girl for a while, I miss her so much!” After hanging up the phone with Jodie Foster, Su Cheng sat in the car and said to himself , a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
At this time, Sioux City's Rolls-Royce was passing through the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and the signal light on the mobile phone had turned red.
Today, he specially went to Tseung Kwan O to inspect the progress. It was afternoon time, so he also came back from there.
After passing through the tunnel, soon the signal light on the mobile phone turned green again.
After a few minutes, the phone rang.
"Hey, boss, it's not easy. I finally got through your phone. Do you have time now? I have something to discuss with you." The person who called Su City was Yang Chaoye, the president of Su Group.
"When you are free, where are you? I'll come find you." Now the car happens to be driving on the road in Causeway Bay. If Yang Chaoye is in the company, it will be very convenient.
"That's good, I'm in the office of Su Group's headquarters building. Boss, come directly here!" Yang Chaoye replied.
