The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 573: "crazy" goals

Ten days after the first issue of the "Lighthouse Evening News" was published.

Sean is sitting in the editor's room at the moment, looking up.

His vision penetrated the roof, and he saw a round of dim sun suspended in the sky, and about one-fifth of the area of ​​the sun had been eroded away.

The passage of time is always much faster than imagined.

Thinking of what Nietzsche said to his group in the Northland forest, Sean felt his blood boil.

He had sworn to make Nietzsche regret what he had done.

He never hoped that after a year, he would lose to that self-righteous guy.

In order to meet the challenges of a year later, he has several goals to achieve.

First of all, it is the identity level of my own explorer. There is no doubt that he will continue to improve himself and the entire team, and then promote all the team members including himself to King before the total solar eclipse is completed.

Before the official start of the war, he has to collect enough "hole cards".

What is the "bottom card"? For example, in Sean's knight ring, the last touchstone is a hole card.

He wants more of this unexpected power beyond their current level.

Then, it is specific to the growth of the white knight and the black knight.

The significance of the growth of the two knights is very intuitive-"Lighthouse Evening News" can bring them the necessary funds and resources to improve their strength, as well as their hidden strength: social influence.

The black knight can provide faith and strengthen Sean's divine power.

Through the last feast, on the "battlefield" of Shawshank Rogers, both stability and efficiency have been achieved. The number of new believers in Night Breeze's faith is steadily increasing, and the faith of old believers is also increasing day by day...

However, the promotion of "Evening Post" is still tepid.

In other words, it seemed a bit tame to Sean.

To be able to make a profit from the survival line in a week is a satisfactory achievement for all members of the newspaper, including the editor-in-chief.

Therefore, when "The Ugly Lion" Norton heard that Sean was going to use strong drugs to increase the sales of the evening paper, he had to admit that he was a little surprised.

Behind Deepin's glasses, the editor-in-chief Norton blinked: "Mr. Dickinson, that is to say, you hope to find a way to increase the daily sales of the Evening Post to 30,000 copies within a week?"

"Yes," Sean nodded, "30,000 is a guarantee, and I hope it's higher."

If it is said that Sean made this statement before the release of the new edition of "Evening Post", then Norton may have put a question mark on the mental state of his boss—

When he was at the "Philadelphia Herald", it took about half a year to increase the daily sales from 10,000 to 30,000.

Such a speed is already considered extremely fast in the industry.

At this moment, Mr. Dickinson's request is to rush to 30,000 copies within a week.

Either way, it's a crazy goal.

However, it was precisely because Norton was facing Sean Dickinson at this moment that he did not directly point out that the plan was irrational, but continued to chat with the young newspaper president—

In the eyes of this editor-in-chief, the young man in front of him definitely has the potential to become a "hero" in the newspaper industry.

And Xiongxiong's words and deeds must be completely different from ordinary people.

To understand and accept his "crazy", his "abnormal".

"So, what's your plan?" Norton asked sincerely.

Sean took a breath, and the words poured out like water downstream from the Niagara Hydro.

During this process, Norton, who was originally calm, frowned more and more.

And he frowned, not because he felt that Sean's plan became more and more absurd...

On the contrary, the more he listened, the more he felt that everything was feasible.

The reason why this expression appeared was because he had an indescribable feeling.

As if this dialogue, like Mr. Dickinson's words, has a magic power to create miracles...

The plan to boost the daily sales of the Evening Beacon included several distinct elements.

There are three cores, one is the improvement of content quality itself.

The second is to set off a wave of advertising campaigns around the slogan of the Evening News.

It is an ingenious way to create more reasons to subscribe to the evening paper.

Among them, the first item requires Norton to lead the entire editorial department to complete it together.

In terms of news content itself, the current Evening News is actually unable to compete with those big newspapers.

Why?

Because the big newspaper has the most and the best staff, and Sean's newspaper has a limited number of staff and a limited level. Even if they try their best, the richness and professionalism of the newspaper's content itself still cannot beat the big newspaper.

In order to reverse this downward trend and try to make up for the lack of content in the shortest possible time, Xiao En intends to create some attractive topics and use "exclusive topics" to create more attractive content...

And this inspiration comes from Sean's unique system - Confession at Midnight.

At present, most of the believers in the Night Breeze faith are residents of the lower city.

In the previous midnight talk, Sean had already discovered the formation of his "information network":

By listening to the midnight confessions of more and more believers, he was able to piece together many turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the surface waves.

For example, no one noticed that a group of children in the downtown area had fallen into a state of "half lost souls" due to the collapse of Midnight Paradise.

The people of downtown are always ignored by mainstream society, let alone their children.

Children who generally exhibit difficulty concentrating and distraction are undoubtedly a social problem that exists today.

When Sean focused on this incident, the White Knight, as a media person, had the first "topic" that attracted enough attention:

The Lost Generation of Downtown.

The daily workload of the newspaper’s editorial department remains the same, but Sean will “dispatch” four reporters who do not exist in the Dickinson Independent Reporter’s Office ~lightnovelpub.net~ in the West Street Building to collect and write All manuscripts for The Lost Generation.

And after this heavy topic is added to the "Evening News", the content of the Evening News will be much more abundant.

And the "Lost Generation" is only the first actual battle of Sean's unique information network.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the "Confidence Network" will inevitably become larger and larger, and will provide Sean with more three-dimensional information, making him one of the hidden intelligence centers in New York City...

And the second step of "prescribing strong medicine" is an intensive advertising bombardment.

Sean intends to raise that $6,000 by raising a fund at the bank (as with the advertising business, calls for a bank loan have been ringing Sean's office after the evening paper's sales boost), and by adding annual subscribers Together, create a wave of "indiscriminate bombing" advertising campaign.

Just won a big chip, the next hand is stud—

Sean himself has to admit that, as he is proficient in Texas Hold'em, sometimes he can't help but use the philosophy he has repeatedly practiced at the poker table...
