In the independent reporter's office in the West Street Building, Sean Dickinson took a piece of chalk and wrote some numbers on a small blackboard.

"...The current daily sales of the Evening News is 2,500 copies."

"Ad agencies have completely ignored us because of bad sales, and today's ad revenue is negligible."

He thought of the gray, unmotivated minister of the advertising department—Mr. Dupres.

John had told him that Dipres was not like this when he first came to the newspaper.

At that time, he was full of energy. He had contacts with advertising agencies every day. He spoke with great energy and walked very fast...

Later, after the sales of evening newspapers declined again and again, the advertising agency didn't even bother to answer his calls, he lost his motivation, and he was the only one left in the advertising department, almost in name only...

Many colleagues heard that Dipres was suffering from insomnia, and suggested that he see a psychiatrist, but he didn't know whether he went or not.

"So, the Evening News can only rely on sales revenue, and the dismal daily sales can only bring the newspaper a monthly income of 3,000 New Zealand dollars."

While talking to Moonlight and Olivia, Sean was clearing his mind.

"The price of the revised evening paper is 2 cents. If you want to break even without relying on advertising revenue, the target daily sales volume is...

"8400 copies.

"After the revision, the daily sales volume of the evening newspaper must reach 8,400 copies in order to break even."

This number has more than tripled. For the current evening newspaper, it can be said that it is very difficult to achieve.

"If we can really boost sales to this level, the advertising agency will also take the initiative to call us.

"At that time, there will be an extra $1,000 a month in advertising revenue."

"Mr. Dupres should be in a better mood."

Yueguang smiled knowingly, and then said: "The sales volume will be boosted to a certain level, and the income will have a breakthrough..."

"As long as the sales can make a return, it means making money!"

Sean threw the chalk into the slot and clapped his hands: "You're right. As long as you get your money back, it means making money—

"Because of the business opportunity of advertising, the newspaper industry is also a winner-take-all industry.

"When you don't have sales, advertising agencies will ignore you;

"When you have a certain amount of sales, the ruthless he will call;

"When your sales far exceed other newspapers, they will start kneeling and licking you, vying to send you money."

"Sales are king."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Moonlight stood up with interest. He noticed that his friend didn't seem to be discouraged by the current "difficult situation" at all, and faintly, he even noticed a trace of excitement.

"There is no doubt..." Sean raised his hands contentedly, "Because I insisted on reforming the Evening News and dismissed Ryan's editor-in-chief, other newspapers criticized me fiercely, which inexplicably attracted in the public eye,

"It is conceivable that in the first issue after the revision, the sales volume will definitely generate a considerable bubble.

"I estimate that the bubble will be around 10,000 to 12,000 copies - of course, the advertising agencies are very skilled, this single-day sales volume does not mean much, and they will not seek us for cooperation because of this.

"As you said, public attention is not necessarily a good thing, maybe my little mistakes will be magnified infinitely...

"But, considering that I have no extra money now, this 'dangerous' bubble is also a very good time for advertising!"

Moonlight 1902 tilted his head: he heard a hint of aggressiveness in Sean's tone - usually, this state only occurs when his partner has discovered the enemy's weakness and is ready to give it a shot.

"I want to take this risk," Sean lowered his voice, "I plan to prolong this bubble...

"At least one more day!"

"Extend the time of public attention caused by negative news?" Yueguang spread his hands in confusion, "What should we do?"

"Response." Sean had a slightly dangerous smile on his face, "I will give other newspapers a response to my criticism, I will state my position in the response, and I will provoke 'progressive forces' The collision of these two ideological trends and 'conservative forces'.

"Of course I am not an instigator, and I have no intention of discussing any truth with the public...

"My purpose in doing this is to take the opportunity to prolong the bubble, to ensure that the second day or even the third day after the revision, because the topic is still fresh, there will still be a sales bubble."

Moonlight squinted his eyes deliberately and said, "Dude, use negative news to get attention - you're more and more like a businessman."

Sean waved his hand: "If the newspaper office wasn't at the point of life and death, if it weren't for the fact that there are dozens of people to support now...

"If not..." He pointed to the slow total solar eclipse in their field of vision, "The sword hanging over our heads."

"I probably won't do it again."

The pianist laughed and patted Sean on the back: "Captain, needless to say, I support you.

"Then, after the 'bubble' recedes, the steady daily sales volume should reach 8,400 copies. This is your goal, right?"

Excluding the false sales in the first three days due to the increase of topic attention, the stable daily sales should reach the break-even point, 8400 copies.

Sean nodded: "Yes, this is my goal."

It took two years for the New Testament Evening News to slip from 10,000 daily sales to 2,500 today.

Sean intends to return to above 8400 in three days.

For others, this is definitely an impossible goal.

Moonlight blinked and murmured: "If you want to achieve such an effect, it seems that the only way is to do it—

"Public attention, once it's over, it's gone.

"Perhaps, the Evening News only has this chance."

Sure enough... Moonlight looked at Sean: It's not so much that Sean looks like a businessman now~lightnovelpub.net~, it's better that this chess player will always change his strategy according to the situation...

However, his current strategy is similar to that of businessmen.

Moonlight suddenly understood Sean's excitement.

Although the two of them are not wearing masks now, and they are discussing some issues such as "sales" and "break-even"...

However, starting a business in this unpredictable modern era has an inexplicable feeling of being on an exploratory mission.

Olivia Windchime, who was reading Nietzsche's writings with her eyebrows lowered, raised her crystal red eyes, which were very quiet.

Even though she and Sean have been together for so long, she still can't understand the inexplicable passion of a man.

To complete a very difficult quest, or to achieve some kind of feat in reality, will make them excited...

Bingzhuren, who was once unfamiliar with this era, but gradually integrated, now looks at Sean and Moonlight as if he were looking at two young men with high aspirations.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes lowered, and he returned to the words.

"Then what about the specific measures? What will the new newspaper look like?" Moonlight rested his chin and threw himself into the conversation with Sean.

"Let's not talk that far..." Sean waved his hand, "To achieve the effect I want, I still need a strong editor-in-chief...

"The first step, I still have to find the right person!"
