Chapter 108, what the future holds
At this time, a black-clothed bishop below took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, news papers are very popular these days, and many major cities have sold at least 300,000 copies."
"Maybe it's profitable. Many businessmen on the mainland took this news paper and asked the staff of Wuhundian to use the duplicating soul guide. They copied at least a million copies and sold them to some small cities like Notting City. "
"Without the ban of His Majesty the Pope, the vast majority of martial spirit temples on the mainland have not prohibited cooperation with these merchants. I don't know if we need to sever such cooperation with these merchants."
Obviously, the black-clothed bishops and purple-clothed bishops in front of them, as the masters of the Wuhun branch hall in large cities, after enjoying the benefits of newspapers, they don't want these businessmen to take advantage of them.
"Xiao Qing, what do you think?" Bibi Dong turned her head and looked at Dong Qing on the left. She didn't understand this new thing very much, so naturally she had to rely on Dong Qing's opinion now.
"Teacher, I think businessmen value profits. They will notice that it is normal for newspapers. After all, large-scale copying does not consume many copper soul coins. A copy of a newspaper costs less than one copper soul coin, but it can be sold for three copper soul coins." .”
"The profit close to three times is nothing more than these businessmen will take risks, but I think that in order to ensure that news and newspapers spread to every corner of the mainland, we don't need to crack down on these businessmen's secondary sales."
"However, in order to ensure that every commoner can afford news papers, we must strictly demand that these merchants not raise their prices privately, otherwise they will be disqualified from copying news papers." Dong Qing said calmly and logically.
Since all copying soul guides on the mainland are in the hands of Wuhundian, no one usually cares about this thing, and naturally no one specifically studies this kind of soul guide.
So at this time, Wuhundian has the absolute right to speak. Only those who are obedient are eligible to copy. If the price is raised twice, merchants who deliberately sell high prices will automatically lose the qualification to copy.
In fact, it is a good thing that businessmen are interested in it. At least it shows that for the vast majority of people, this is a profitable thing, and it also represents the common people’s recognition of new things like news newspapers.
After hearing Dong Qing's opinion, Bibi Dong nodded slightly, and then the Pope's scepter in her hand fell down, and a heavy muffled sound sounded, which shocked all the members of the Spirit Hall below.
"What Xiaoqing said makes a lot of sense, you follow suit, understand?" Bibi Dong said seriously.
At this time, she is the absolute queen, wearing the Pope's crown on her head, wearing the Pope's platinum dress, and holding the Pope's exclusive scepter, she looks extremely majestic.
At the same time, the peak ninety-nine-level Peerless Douluo aura unintentionally exuded from her body made the elders at the title Douluo level of the Wuhun Hall below couldn't help but tremble with fear,
"Follow the orders of the Pope." All the members of the Wuhun Hall below bowed their heads and said in unison.
After the high-level meeting of the Wuhun Palace, Dongqing bid farewell to Bibidong, and the last person came to Wuhun City, the central area, the news building, [News Center Headquarters].
This news building is not high, only three floors, but it can stand tall in the central area of Wuhun City. Even if it is not high, it is still one of the most important buildings here.
The people in charge here are Mei Xiangxue, Li Yuemei, and Li Yuexian. They are all teachers from the Elite Soul Master Academy of Wuhundian.
News manuscripts are manuscripts after all, and Dongqing is not good at layout and distribution, so he still has to rely on these three teachers who have worked in the Elite Soul Master Academy of Wuhundian for a long time.
After all, they are professionals, and Dongqing can only be responsible for controlling the general direction, publishing some of their own articles from time to time, or just being lazy and doing nothing.
Of course, they also have a lot of Wuhundian members under their control, and they don't have to rely on the three of them to do everything. After all, Wuhundian intelligence personnel have already spread all over the mainland.
Mei Xiangxue, Li Yuexian, and Li Yuemei only need to choose some suitable things, things that are in the interests of Wuhundian, and then serialize them in the news newspapers.
Their work is probably like a news editor, mainly responsible for selecting good or bad content.
Mei Xiangxue has an exquisite appearance, long golden wavy hair hanging down to her waist, and a mature and charming body. She is a stunningly beautiful woman over thirty years old.
The slender waist is restrained by a cloud belt, and the plumpness and fullness can be vaguely seen on the chest. There is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, showing the charm and enchantment that belongs to a beautiful woman.
Six years have passed, she was 36 years old, now she is 42 years old, and her soul power level has also been raised from the 69th-level Soul Emperor to the 73rd-level Soul Sage Realm.
Her martial soul is a simple long sword, although it is far inferior to the Seven Killing Sword of Qibao Liulizong Sword Douluo Chenxin, but it can be regarded as a good weapon martial soul.
As for Li Yuexian and Li Yuemei, they are twin sisters, Li Yuemei is the older sister, and Li Yuexian is the younger sister. Judging from their appearance, they are a few years younger than Mei Xiangxue.
Now that six years have passed, they have turned from twenty-nine to thirty-five years old, and their soul power has just reached the sixth-level soul emperor level, and they are still rare auxiliary soul masters.
Their sisters' martial souls are Enhancement Orb and Healing Orb respectively. Elder sister Li Yuemei is Enhancement Orb and is an auxiliary soul master, and younger sister Li Yuexian is Healing Orb and is a healing soul master.
Both of them were wearing gray dresses of the same color, with a pair of jade legs tightly wrapped in black stockings exposed, which looked strong and slender, but full of a feeling of elasticity and tension.
Not to mention anything else, just relying on such jade legs is enough to attract the attention of most men in the world, and the most amazing thing is that the two of them have exactly the same appearance, which is really whimsical .
Wuhun City, central area, news center headquarters, warm pavilion on the third floor.
Mei Xiangxue held a ledger in her hand, and she was talking about the income data on it, while Dong Qing sat on a chair and fell asleep.
"His Royal Highness, according to the calculation of the 300 large cities in the whole mainland, each large city's Wuhun Branch Hall has sold at least 100,000 copies of news papers. Calculated according to one three copper soul coins, a total of 300,000 copper soul coins .”
"The 300,000 copper soul coins in a single large city, according to the ratio of 100 to 1, are converted into 3,000 gold soul coins. There are a total of 300 large cities in the whole continent. Calculated, this time the total The income is 900,000 gold soul coins."
"However, because of your promise, His Royal Highness, the local Wuhun branch hall can retain 30% of the profits, so our income this time is around 600,000 gold soul coins."
Withholding 30% of the profits is mainly to give motivation to the local martial arts division, otherwise they would not care about this kind of hard work.
And a new newspaper is released every seven days, even if the income is calculated at a minimum income of 600,000 gold soul coins, 2.4 million gold soul coins will be credited in a month.
However, this account cannot be calculated in this way. In the future, the sales volume will definitely increase day by day. In addition, the copying soul guide is controlled by Wuhundian, so it is difficult for the exclusive business to not be rich.
Dongqing thought about it, and was quite satisfied with the news department he created. Not only can he provide a lot of gold soul coins for him to squander, but he can also harvest the power of faith of hundreds of millions of sentient beings.
"Teacher Mei Xin, you have helped typesetting, and I will have to rely on you in the future to help maintain the headquarters of the news center. This time, each of you will pay 10,000 gold soul coins as a bonus!"
